The Paradise Movie Builds Falaknuma Palace Set, Costly Affair

Dreams sometimes demand madness. For The Paradise, they built an entire palace. Yeah, not a set, a full-blown replica of Hyderabad’s Falaknuma Palace. Nani is teaming up again with Dasara director Srikanth Odela, and this time, the team seems to have gone a little wild with scale and spending. From the moment the film was announced, everyone expected something big, but this… this is next-level.

When the glimpse video dropped, it left people confused and curious. Nani, the natural star with that nice-guy image, suddenly looked intense, almost unrecognizable. Fans kept wondering what pulled him into a movie like this. Now, shooting’s been happening non-stop. The team reportedly sold OTT rights even before wrapping up, and the platform gave them a strict release deadline. No time to chill.

The crew’s been grinding hard in Muchintal, near Hyderabad, where the grand palace set stands. A few folks from the unit say they’ve been sleeping just three hours a day, pushing through long nights to finish key fight scenes. The place itself apparently looks so real that locals thought a part of Falaknuma was moved there. The latest information is that the makers have spent around Rs. 7.5 crore to build the house set that resembles Hyderabad’s famous Falaknuma Palace. It’s turning into one of the priciest Telugu film sets in recent times.

For Nani, this film isn’t just another role. He seems to be breaking out of his comfort zone, less charm, more grit. Srikanth Odela too looks like he’s chasing perfection more than sanity. Everyone’s hoping The Paradise will be worth all this sleepless effort. After all, you don’t build a palace every day just to play it safe.
