The teaser of Nani’s upcoming Telugu film The Paradise has been released, presenting the actor as Jadal, a fierce rebel fighting for oppressed communities against a powerful feudal family.
Directed by Srikanth Odela, the film also stars Mohan Babu, Raghav Juyal and Kayadu Lohar in prominent roles.
Nani Questions Power and Ownership
The 1-minute-42-second teaser opens with Jadal questioning who truly owns the land and the country. He urges marginalised people to rise against those who have humiliated and controlled them.
The teaser suggests that Jadal is fighting Shikanja Maalik, played by Mohan Babu, and his son Vikram Maalik, played by Raghav Juyal, for control of a place called Paradise.
A Dark and Violent Transformation
Nani appears in a rugged new avatar with long braided hair and a heavily stylised action look. The teaser builds towards intense violence, eventually showing Jadal covered in blood and seated above the defeated men around him.
The imagery establishes The Paradise as a dark, politically charged action drama centred on caste oppression, rebellion and feudal power structures. This thematic description is an inference from the teaser scenes and dialogue reported by Hindustan Times.
Teaser Receives Mixed Reactions
Online responses were divided. Some viewers praised the teaser’s scale and mass presentation, while others criticised the music, Nani’s Hindi dubbing and the heavy focus on his hairstyle and aggressive action sequences.
New Release Date Announced
The teaser confirms that The Paradise will now release theatrically on September 24, 2026.
The film was originally scheduled for March 26, later shifted to August 21 and has now been postponed again to September 24.
Nani and Srikanth Odela Reunite
The Paradise reunites Nani with director Srikanth Odela after their 2023 film Dasara. The new film is produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under SLV Cinemas, co-produced by Ishan Saksena and features music by Anirudh Ravichander.
