'Hit' actor Nani recalls how Prabhas lifted his mood on a tough birthday
An unexpected visit
While having a chat with Pinkvilla, Nani shared that the day was particularly tough for him as two of his films, 'Aaha Kalyanam' and 'Paisa', had released in quick succession but didn't perform well at the box office. Feeling stressed and not in the mood to celebrate, he hadn't planned any birthday gatherings. However, Prabhas, along with some friends and colleagues, unexpectedly showed up at his office to wish him, turning the day around and lifting his spirits.
A moment that meant a lot
Nani said it was a fun and memorable evening that helped him forget his worries and feel positive again. When asked if he would consider producing a film with Prabhas as the lead someday, Nani was hopeful but non-committal, expressing a desire to work together if the right project comes along.
Upcoming projects
On the professional front, Nani is gearing up for the release of 'HIT: The Third Case' which is the third installment in the popular 'HIT' franchise, directed and written by Sailesh Kolanu. In this action thriller, Nani plays Arjun Sarkaar, a tough and violent police officer tasked with tracking down a gang of serial killers responsible for multiple deaths. The film promises intense storytelling and gripping action sequences, continuing the legacy established by the first two films starring Vishwak Sen and Adivi Sesh.
The movie also features a strong supporting cast including Srinidhi Shetty, Adil Pala,
Rao Ramesh
, Brahmaji, and Maganti Srinath in key roles and will be hitting the silver screen on May 1.
Looking ahead, Nani will next be seen in 'The Paradise', directed by Srikanth Odela, known for his work on 'Dasara'.

Nani fierce new look from ‘The Paradise' unveiled
Natural Star Nani, fresh off consecutive blockbusters, is stepping into his boldest role yet with The Paradise, an epic period action drama set for a worldwide release in English and Spanish. The film reunites him with Dasara director Srikanth Odela, promising a darker, more intense cinematic experience. The newly released first look reveals a Nani almost unrecognizable in a raw, beast-mode transformation. Sporting long braided jedalu, a thick beard, and a handlebar mustache, he exudes rugged power. His partially unbuttoned red collared denim shirt, layered metallic chains with tribal and demonic motifs, and dark-tinted sunglasses complete the striking visual, blending ferocity with style. The poster's backdrop heightens the atmosphere — a grim setting dominated by a massive spiked wheel of knives and bullets, with ominous crows surrounding him, evoking chaos and symbolic darkness. This isn't just a makeover; it's a full-scale reimagination of Nani's on-screen persona. Every element — from physical transformation to gritty set design — suggests a layered, unpredictable character, potentially the most intense of his career. Helmed by Odela, The Paradise is set to push beyond the gritty brilliance of Dasara. Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under SLV Cinemas and co-starring Raghav Juyal in a pivotal role, the film is slated for a grand global release on March 26, 2026.
