Directed by Srikanth Odela and starring Natural Star Nani, The Paradise is one of the biggest pan-Indian films of 2026.
As the new year kickstarts, Natural star Nani made a blockbuster entry to 2026 with the poster announcing the release date of his upcoming and much anticipated film, The Paradise.
Nani took to his Instagram account to introduce his character 'Jadal' and share that the film is set to release on 26 March, 2026.
In a powerful caption on social media, Nani wrote, "Welcome to 2026 aka JADAL ZAMANA Happy New Year TheParadise in cinemas 26th March, 2026. Releasing in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, English, and Spanish.
"In the poster, Nani is seen in a rugged and intense avatar, exuding ferocity. He is seen sporting long hair and a beard and donning a black vest. He is wearing multiple earrings and bracelets, paired with red sunglasses. He appears to be in prison or a place where multiple people have been fighting, conveyed by the heap of bodies behind him. He is seen in a fighting stance, while throngs of people cheer him on from above.
Produced by SLV Cinemas, The Paradise is slated for a massive theatrical release on March 26, 2026, in eight languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, English, Spanish, Bengali, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Elevating the anticipation further is the film's original soundtrack composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Featuring powerful vocals by Anirudh himself along with Arjun Chandy, the music creates an intense and immersive atmosphere, perfectly complementing the narrative and amplifying the film's overall cinematic experience.
In a move that underlines the film's global ambitions, the makers have reportedly approached Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds to present The Paradise across international markets. When it came to zeroing in on Hollywood stars, the Deadpool actor was a natural fit, according to the makers. The source reasons, "Given that the film is an action drama with quirky elements, the team felt there could be no one better than Ryan Reynolds as his actioners have a similar feel."
With its visionary director, powerhouse cast, and global scale, The Paradise is not just a film; it's a cultural phenomenon in the making.
