The Paradise: The long wait is finally over for Nani fans. The makers of Paradise have released the first teaser for the film, giving a glimpse of one of the most premium action thrillers of the year.
Following the success of Dussehra, director Srikanth Odela’s visually striking narrative style, this upcoming thriller starring Nani takes his thriller genre to a new level. Produced by SLV Cinemas, The Paradise will release on September 24, 2026, with a multilingual world premiere.
Nani’s new look is seen in the teaser
Set against the haunting backdrop of poverty-stricken slums, the 1 minute 42 second teaser transports viewers directly to a world rife with oppression, rebellion, and violence. The teaser begins with Anirudh Ravichander’s soulful voiceover, with Nani’s voice-over playing as armed men fire bullets into the sky in the background. In a departure from his recent roles, Nani plays a rebel leader who fights for the rights of the oppressed against ruthless feudal rulers. Sporting a tightly braided fishtail hairstyle, a bloodied face, and a weapon in hand, Nani performs some jaw-dropping stunts and takes down a mob of goons.
Who is the villain in Srikanth Odela’s This Dark World?
While the teaser highlights Nani’s fight against social injustice, it also offers a brief and frightening glimpse of the film’s villain, Vikram Malik (played by Raghav Juyal). Juyal, who had already made a splash with his villainous role in his previous film, “Kill,” makes his acting debut in Telugu cinema, shirtless and sporting a gold chain around his neck. The film also features an impressive supporting cast, including Mohan Babu and Kaidu Lohar.
When will Paradise release?
Although originally planned for an earlier release date, post-production changes later pushed the release date back to September 24, 2026. The film will be available in the following eight languages: Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, English, and Spanish.
