Nani

Nani's next film The Paradise has been making noise ever since it was announced. The makers have announced a new release date for the film. The film which was earlier scheduled to be released in March, has been deferred by five months. Directed by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise features Telugu star Nani in the lead, with Raghav Juyal as the villain.

Nani announces new release date for The Paradise

On Wednesday, Nani took to his X timeline to share the announcement poster. He wrote, "August 21st. 2026. JadalZamanaFromAug21 TheParadise."

It may be recalled that The Paradise, which is backed by SLV Cinemas, was originally set for a grand release on March 26, 2026.

The new date picked by the unit for the release thrusts The Paradise straight into a rare three-week festival wave. The first week gets a strong mid-week boost with Onam and Milad-un-Nabi, followed by Raksha Bandhan in the second weekend, and Janmashtami in the third.

For a high-budget spectacle of this scale, this extended holiday stretch offers an exceptional runway at the box office.

Meanwhile, the team is currently shooting one of the film's biggest highlights- Nani's explosive introduction song, set on a gigantic set with hundreds of dancers. Rockstar Anirudh Ravichander has composed an intense, high-voltage mass number that matches Nani's raw, energetic style. Choreographer Sudhan Master is crafting large-scale, dynamic visuals to turn the song into a complete crowd-pleaser.

Sources in the film unit say that Nani is turning up the heat on the sets of his ambitious film 'The Paradise'. Shooting, they point out, is progressing at a brisk pace.

It may be recalled that only recently, the makers of the film had disclosed that actor Sampoornesh Babu plays a character called 'Biryani' in the film.

The film has triggered huge expectations among fans and film buffs for a number of reasons.

Well-known Bollywood actor Raghav Juyal who is enjoying his success after Kill and Bads of Bollywood, too, is a part of 'The Paradise'. It may be recalled that the makers of the film had welcomed actor Raghav on board the film's unit last year. He will be seen donning a new look for the film.

It is to be released in eight languages, namely Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, English, Spanish, Bengali, Kannada, and Malayalam.
