Nani's Upcoming Action Thriller 'The Paradise' Faces Production Delays
Natural Star Nani is set to appear in another high-octane action thriller role in the much-anticipated film 'The Paradise', directed by Srikanth Odela. While the makers initially announced a release date of March 26, 2026, recent industry reports indicate that the project might experience significant delays due to ongoing production challenges.
Budget Escalation and Production Issues
According to industry sources, including a detailed report by 123Telugu, the production team is grappling with multiple issues that have led to a substantial budget increase. The film's budget has reportedly crossed the remarkable mark of Rs 200 crores, making it one of the most expensive projects in recent Telugu cinema history. The sheer scale and ambition of the film are cited as primary reasons for this financial escalation.
The production team is currently working diligently to manage this complex situation, ensuring that quality isn't compromised despite the budgetary pressures. This careful approach reflects the makers' commitment to delivering a cinematic experience that meets audience expectations.
Shooting Schedule Extended
Recent updates reveal that the shooting of 'The Paradise' remains incomplete, with crucial segments still pending. A new shooting schedule has commenced in Hyderabad, where the team is working round the clock to wrap up production as quickly as possible. The delay primarily stems from the makers' insistence on perfection—they are unwilling to rush any aspect of the film's creation.
This dedication to quality means that fans might have to wait longer for the final product, though no official update regarding the revised release timeline has been shared by the production house yet.
High Expectations and Star-Studded Cast
Expectations for 'The Paradise' are exceptionally high, given that it reunites Nani with director Srikanth Odela. Their previous collaboration, 'Dasara', proved to be a massive commercial and critical success, raising anticipation for their latest venture.
The film is expected to be set in the late 1990s of Secunderabad, portraying the struggles of a marginalized tribe and their fight against systemic discrimination. This socially relevant narrative adds depth to the action-packed thriller.
The star-studded cast features:
- Kayadu Lohar (of 'Dragon' fame) as the female lead
- Veteran actor Mohan Babu in a key role
- Popular performer Raghav Juyal
- Comedian-actor Sampoornesh Babu
This ensemble promises powerful performances that will complement the film's grand narrative scale.
Audience Anticipation and Industry Watch
As the production navigates these challenges, fans and industry observers are eagerly awaiting official updates regarding the revised release schedule. The combination of Nani's star power, Odela's directorial vision, and the film's substantial budget creates significant buzz in the Telugu film industry.
The delay, while disappointing for eager fans, underscores the production team's commitment to delivering a polished final product that lives up to its ambitious premise and substantial investment.
