Nani’s Upcoming Paradise Gets Grand 30-Acre Set

Natural Star Nani is stepping into the biggest film of his career with "Paradise," directed by Srikanth Odela, known for his work on "Dasara." Produced by Sudhakar under the SLV banner, the film is mounted on a massive budget. The glimpse that was released earlier created a strong buzz, showing Nani in a completely different avatar. Now, the team is moving ahead with high-speed shooting schedules, and fresh updates about the production are catching everyone’s attention.

The story is said to be set in the 1980s backdrop of Secunderabad backwaters. To recreate the raw feel of those times, the makers are building gigantic slum sets covering nearly 30 acres on the outskirts of Hyderabad. This scale is unusual for a Nani starrer and is being seen as a sign of how ambitious the project is. There’s also talk that Nani might be playing a dual role, which has raised even more curiosity among fans.

Recently, the makers unveiled Nani’s first look, which instantly went viral. With his long braided hair and rugged styling, he looked far from the boy-next-door image audiences are used to. The makeover signals that Srikanth Odela is determined to show Nani in a raw, never-before-seen shade. The response from fans and trade circles alike has been extremely positive, making Paradise one of the most talked-about projects in Tollywood right now.

Reports suggest the film’s budget has crossed the 100-crore mark, making it the costliest project in Nani’s career. With music by Tamil sensation Anirudh, the film is set for a wide release in eight languages. Slated to hit screens worldwide on March 26 next year, Paradise is already being positioned as a grand summer attraction that could redefine Nani’s stardom.
