Nani's 'The Paradise' faces production delays; March 2026 release likely to be postponed: Reports
Tollywood star Nani's much-awaited pan-India period action drama, 'The Paradise', directed by Vivek Athreya was launched early this summer. The intense first glimpse video features Nani as a rebel leader.
With fans excited to see the star in his new avatar on the big screen, rumours are rife that the film may just be delayed.
According to a 123Telugu report, the shooting of the film is getting delayed due to multiple logistical problems. A major reason for the delay is due to the construction of elaborate sets, crucial to the film. These sets, reportedly massive in scale, are said to be central to several key portions of the story.
The delay in its completion has paused the filming schedule.
This has led to speculations about the film's release date. As of now, 'The Paradise' is officially slated to hit the big screens on March 27, 2026, a date that clashes with Ram Charan's much-awaited project, 'Peddi,' which is also scheduled for a global release on the same day.
However, with the current pace of progress, it seems that 'The Paradise' may not make its March 2026 deadline.
It is suggested that the makers are internally considering a possible postponement, with May 2026 emerging as a likely window for the film's release.
The makers are yet to issue an official confirmation regarding the change in release date.
'The Paradise' also features Sonali Kulkarni. The music of the film is composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
The film's teaser hints at the story of a tribe, metaphorically described as "crows", struggling for recognition in a society that discriminates against them.

The movie was directed by PA Arun Prasad and starred Preeti Jhangiani and Aditi Govitrikar, and Achyuth too. Pawan Kalyan's cult classic Thammudu is all set to hit the big screens. According to reports, the film will be re-released ahead of the actor's birthday, which falls on September 2. The move comes as a celebratory gesture for Pawan Kalyan's popularity and as a treat for his massive fan following. According to 123 Telugu, Thammudu was first set to re-release on September 2, 2025, but fans don't have to wait that long now. The film will re-release on August 30, 2025. Two days ahead. This sports movie was directed by PA Arun Prasad. Produced by Burugupalli Sivaramakrishna, it starred Preeti Jhangiani and Aditi Govitrikar, and Achyuth too. Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has found himself in the middle of a legal storm. A petition filed in the Andhra Pradesh High Court accuses him of misusing government funds and machinery to promote his recent film 'Harihara Veeramallu'. The petition was filed by Vijay Kumar, a former IAS officer and founding president of the Liberation Congress Party. He has requested a CBI investigation into the matter, alleging that Pawan Kalyan used his official position for personal and commercial gain. What The Court Said The case came up for a preliminary hearing on Monday before Justice Venkata Jyothirmai. The court directed the registry to include the names of lawyers representing the CBI and the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in the case's hearing list. The matter has now been adjourned for a week. However, the judge rejected a request to issue notices to the respondents at this stage, clarifying that such action would be considered later depending on the circumstances. Hari Hara Veera Mallu OTT Release: When And Where To Watch Pawan Kalyan's big-budget period drama, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, is now making its way to OTT just weeks after its theatrical run. Directed by Krish and Jyothi Krisna, the film also stars Bobby Deol and Nidhhi Agerwal. It hit theatres on July 24 with huge expectations but ended up receiving a mixed response from audiences and critics alike. As is common in Telugu cinema these days, films that don't have a long theatrical run quickly shift to digital platforms. The same has happened with Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which is all set to stream online less than a month after its release. The makers officially announced on the film's X (formerly Twitter) handle that the historical epic will premiere on Prime Video from today, August 20. The post read, 'A tale of rebellion, rage and righteousness. The storm that started in theatres now takes over your screens." The movie dropped at midnight, and the announcement was made just hours before its OTT arrival. Hari Hara Veera Mallu was released amid huge anticipation, especially since it was Pawan Kalyan's first film after becoming the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Unlike his usual style of avoiding film promotions, the actor actively participated in promotional events across the country. However, despite the hype, the film disappointed many due to weak storytelling and underwhelming visual effects.
