Directed by Srikanth Odela, the film reunites the filmmaker with Nani after their earlier collaboration on Dasara. The teaser introduces a dark and violent world in which survival appears to depend on strength, courage and rebellion.

Watch the official teaser of Nani and Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise.
The teaser presents Jadal as a man shaped by rejection, humiliation and violence, before emerging as a force of resistance.
Nani’s Jadal Takes Centre Stage
The teaser presents Jadal as a character shaped by discrimination, hardship and social exclusion.
Rather than disclosing the complete story, the footage uses emotionally charged dialogue, violent confrontations and striking visual imagery to establish the character and the world surrounding him.
Nani’s transformation is expected to be one of the film’s biggest attractions. His performance in the teaser combines controlled aggression with visible emotional pain, indicating that Jadal’s journey may extend beyond a conventional hero-versus-villain conflict.
- Nani appears in a rugged and physically intense avatar as Jadal.
- The teaser combines mass action with themes of social exclusion and resistance.
- Srikanth Odela retains the raw visual style associated with Dasara.
- The film is confirmed for a worldwide theatrical release on September 24, 2026.
A Dark and Visually Ambitious World
The teaser is filled with crowded settlements, dusty landscapes, dramatic confrontations and large-scale action imagery.
The cinematography gives the film a broad cinematic scale while retaining the rawness and emotional intensity associated with Srikanth Odela’s storytelling.
The promotional material suggests that the film may explore identity, discrimination, dignity, citizenship and the struggle of communities pushed to society’s margins.
Nani and Srikanth Odela Reunite After Dasara
The Paradise marks Nani and Srikanth Odela’s second collaboration following Dasara.
Their reunion has generated significant expectations because the new film appears to be mounted on a larger scale, with extensive sets, stylised action and a broader social conflict.
While Dasara centred on personal relationships and conflict within a mining community, The Paradise appears to expand its narrative towards an outsider’s rise and a larger struggle against an oppressive social order.
Supporting Cast and Technical Team
Alongside Nani, the film features Mohan Babu, Sonali Kulkarni, Raghav Juyal, Sampoornesh Babu, Tanikella Bharani, Easwari Rao and other performers in important roles.
The teaser keeps several supporting characters partially concealed, allowing Jadal’s introduction and the film’s central atmosphere to dominate the first major promotional reveal.
The film is produced under the SLV Cinemas banner, with Anirudh Ravichander composing the music and background score.
Anirudh’s Score Adds Force to the Teaser
Anirudh Ravichander’s background score plays an important role in strengthening Jadal’s arrival.
Heavy percussion, rising orchestration and forceful vocal elements intensify the teaser’s rebellious tone and complement the large-scale action imagery.
Teaser Balances Emotion and Action
Although the teaser contains several violent confrontations, its strongest moments are linked to Jadal’s identity and the conditions that shaped him.
The footage suggests that the film may examine how humiliation and social rejection can produce resistance, and how an ignored individual can emerge as a leader.
Instead of presenting Jadal as an invincible action hero from the beginning, the teaser portrays him as someone formed by pain and pushed into confrontation by the world around him.
The makers have confirmed that The Paradise will release theatrically worldwide on September 24, 2026.
With its intense teaser, Nani’s transformation and Srikanth Odela’s ambitious visual treatment, the film has positioned itself as one of the major Telugu releases of 2026.
