Nani Stuns as ‘Jadal’ in Srikanth Odela’s Global Action Drama The Paradise
Natural Star Nani is back — and this time, in a never-seen-before fierce avatar that’s taken fans by storm. Shedding his trademark charming persona, Nani transforms into a rugged and revolutionary character in ‘The Paradise’, an ambitious global action drama directed by Srikanth Odela of Dasara fame and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the prestigious SLV Cinemas banner.
The first look of Nani as ‘Jadal’ was unveiled to a unanimous, thunderous response. With thick facial hair, two striking braids, and an intense, raw presence, Nani’s look has become a hot topic across social media. The name ‘Jadal’, symbolized through his signature braids, is as unique as the look itself.
The poster, rich with visual symbolism, instantly grabs attention. Behind Nani, a colossal circular wheel forged from knives and bullets hints at the dangerous path his character treads. The smoky atmosphere, circling crows, and stark imagery scream intensity and rebellion. Adding depth to the character reveal, the makers have dropped an intriguing line:
“It started as a braid. It ended as a revolution.”
This powerful line has only deepened the mystery surrounding Nani’s character and raised excitement levels even further.
The buzz around The Paradise has been steadily building since the launch of the teaser glimpse titled the ‘Raw Statement.’ Each update from the makers has only fanned the flames of anticipation. With the unveiling of Nani’s look, the hype has now reached a fever pitch.
Director Srikanth Odela, known for his keen eye for detail and rooted storytelling, once again showcases his cinematic brilliance. After their critically acclaimed and commercially successful collaboration in Dasara, Srikanth and Nani reunite with a project that looks to push the envelope even further. Set in the gritty interiors of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, The Paradise promises a hard-hitting period action drama with intense emotional beats.
The film also features the talented Raghav Juyal in a pivotal role. Adding to the excitement, musical sensation Anirudh Ravichander is composing the soundtrack, promising a powerful audio experience. The technical crew is stacked with industry talents—Ch Sai handles the cinematography, Naveen Nooli is on board as editor, and Avinash Kolla is managing production design.
‘The Paradise’ is set for a grand theatrical release on March 26, 2026, and will be launched in eight languages: Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, English, and Spanish. This pan-world release aims to redefine the scale and scope of Indian cinema on the global stage.
With a powerful cast, visionary direction, and a globally resonant narrative, The Paradise is shaping up to be a cinematic revolution — and Nani as Jadal stands at its blazing forefront.
