Nani’s Rugged New Look from The Paradise Creates Buzz

After the success of Dasara and his role in HIT 3: The Third Case, Nani is back with a brand-new film titled The Paradise. Directed by Srikanth Odela, this marks their second collaboration and is said to be the biggest film in Nani’s career. A leaked photo of his look from the film has now gone viral on social media.

In the picture, Nani is seen with long hair and a thick beard. Though his hairstyle is similar to Dasara, the beard is a fresh change. He also looks leaner and more toned, suggesting a different physical transformation for this role.

Fans are excited to see Nani in a completely new avatar. He will be seen with hair braids in this film, a first in his career. His official first-look poster already got a strong response, increasing curiosity around the project.

The Paradise is set in Hyderabad during the 1980s and 90s. It’s a gangster drama and features Kayadu Lohar, Mohan Babu, and Raghav Juyal in key roles. The music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The movie is set to release worldwide on March 26, 2026.
