Actor Nani rang in the New Year by unveiling a striking new poster of his upcoming film The Paradise, instantly igniting excitement among fans and putting recent delay rumours to rest. The poster, shared on his official Instagram handle, showcases a fierce and intense mood, further heightening anticipation around the much-awaited project.
Within minutes of its release, the poster went viral, with fans flooding the comments section with fire and heart emojis. Messages like “Can’t wait” and “Wishing you a year full of success, Nanna” reflected the strong buzz surrounding the film.
No Delay: The Paradise to Release as Planned
In recent weeks, speculation on social media suggested that The Paradise might face a delay. However, the makers have now officially clarified that the film will release exactly as scheduled on March 26, 2026.
Taking to Instagram, the team shared a video confirming the release date and celebrating director Srikanth Odela, describing him as an introvert off-set and a passionate force behind the camera. The caption reaffirmed that The Paradise will hit cinemas in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, English, and Spanish, underlining its ambitious pan-Indian and global vision.
Nani Introduces His Character ‘Jadal’
Earlier, Nani had revealed his character from the film, introducing him as ‘Jadal’. Sharing another intense poster, the actor wrote, “Calling a spade a spade”, a line that aligns with the film’s raw and unapologetic tone. The reveal further fuelled curiosity about the character’s journey and the world the film inhabits.
The film also marks a major collaboration with music composer Anirudh Ravichander, adding to expectations around its scale and impact.
A Glimpse into the Film’s Core Theme
Back in March 2025, the makers released a powerful promo titled ‘Raw Statement’, setting the narrative tone of The Paradise. The promo opened with a disclaimer highlighting raw truth and raw language, followed by a haunting voiceover that spoke about unheard histories and marginalised communities.
Using the metaphor of crows, the narration described a community long ignored and oppressed, eventually rising against injustice under the leadership of a rebellious young man. The imagery and words hinted at a story rooted in social conflict, identity, and resistance — themes that have since become closely associated with the film.
A Film to Watch Out For
With Nani in a never-seen-before intense avatar, Srikanth Odela at the helm, and a strong thematic foundation, The Paradise continues to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2026. The latest poster and official confirmation have only strengthened confidence that the film is firmly on track.
The Paradise arrives in theatres on March 26, 2026.
