Nani drops BTS clip of The Paradise shoot, director Srikanth Odela reveals idea behind actor's braids look
Nani's shoot for The Paradise
In the video, which seemed to be shot in a set that resembled the interiors of a jail, hundreds of extras were seen banging their steel plates on the walls as the crew handled the camera equipment in the middle of the space. Srikanth gives an insight into the introduction of the hero, and says, 'When the hero starts counting his dips with one, two… we have to begin the havoc by everyone banging around him. Five hundred and ninety nine… we just hear the sound… we raise it!'
Idea behind Nani's braids
A shot of Nani flexing his shoulders and smoking a cigarette is shown, as the camera takes a shot from the back with a rousing background score. 'You touch his braids… and see him lose his temper,' he adds in the last few seconds as the title card appears at the end of the teaser.
Nani shared the video with the caption, 'We went all in. We are ready to go all out now. Wrapped up an intense one. Gearing up for the next schedule.'
The Paradise will release on March 26 next year. Nani and Srikanth previously worked together on Dasara, which was a critical as well as commercial success.
Nani was last seen in HIT: The Third Case, where he played a tough cop named Arjun Sarkaar. The film was released on May 1, 2025, in five languages and was produced under his own banner, Wall Poster Cinema.

‘The Paradise' spark video released
Natural Star Nani is redefining intensity with his next big venture, 'The Paradise', a gripping action drama directed by 'Dasara' fame Srikanth Odela. With two fierce first-look posters, the film is already shaking up expectations and signaling a bold new chapter in Nani's career. Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner, 'The Paradise' isn't just aiming for scale — it's aiming for impact. Meanwhile, a thunderous behind-the-scenes glimpse titled 'Spark of Paradise' is out now. Set against the backdrop of an unforgiving prison world, the 'Spark of Paradise' video offers a thrilling sneak peek into a high-octane sequence shot over 15 intense days at Ramoji Film City. In it, Nani's character prepares for a deadly confrontation — alone, unarmed, and unfazed, as fellow prisoners close in with swords drawn. What should be a moment of panic instead becomes a display of unshakable power, with Jadal remaining seated, daring the storm to strike. Sporting thick twin braids and a scarred, rugged look, Nani exudes silent dominance. Whether seated calmly as chaos erupts around him or staring down a horde of armed inmates with icy resolve, this character speaks volumes without uttering a word. Srikanth Odela's audacious vision is evident throughout — from character design to every cinematic detail — even though 'The Paradise' is only his second movie. Sudhakar Cherukuri is mounting the project ambitiously, with production values that look top-notch. The film's raw, grounded tone is amplified by Rockstar Anirudh Ravichander's electrifying background score, which injects pulse-pounding urgency into every frame. With Raghav Juyal making his Tollywood debut in a key role, and an ensemble of powerful characters adding to the narrative, the film is gearing up to deliver both spectacle and substance. Slated for a global release on March 26, 2026, in eight languages — including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali, English, and Spanish — 'The Paradise' is positioning itself as one of Indian cinema's most anticipated action dramas.
