The Telugu film The Paradise brings back the hit trio of actor Nani, director Srikanth Odela and producer Sudhakar Cherukuri after Dasara, for a powerful story of rebellion and the fight for identity. The teaser of the action drama, revealed on Thursday evening, leads viewers into the world of Jadal, the character played by Nani.

If Dasara marked a departure from Nani’s usual films and presented him in a rugged avatar in the vicinity of coal mines in Telangana, The Paradise presents him in a fierce avatar. The narrative deals with the struggle for identity and land, and the rise against oppression. The film features Nani as Jadal, while Mohan Babu is cast in a pivotal role and Raghav Juyal plays the antagonist. Kayadu Lohar plays the female lead in this film that has music by Anirudh Ravichander.

The technical team includes cinematographer Ch Sai and production designer Avinash Kolla. The Paradise is scheduled to arrive in theatres in Telugu and other languages on September 24, 2026.

Earlier this week, Nani’s production house Unanimous Productions announced its second production titled Alias Rukmini. The Telugu film, which will be directed by Murali Kanth Devasoth of Dhandora fame, will be produced by Deepthi Ganta and star Nithiin in the lead.
