Nani’s Remuneration for The Paradise Has Everyone Curious
The duo earlier worked together on Dasara, and now they are returning with a much bigger project.
By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 18 Sept 2026 5:29 PM ISTNatural Star Nani is currently busy promoting his upcoming film The Paradise. The movie is directed by Srikanth Odela, and their combination has created a lot of interest among Telugu audiences. The duo earlier worked together on Dasara, and now they are returning with a much bigger project.
As the promotions are moving forward, there is also a lot of discussion about Nani's remuneration for the film. According to reports circulating in the media and social media, Nani is said to have received around Rs. 35 crore for The Paradise.
However, this amount has not been officially confirmed by Nani or the film's production team. A recent Times of India report, citing media estimates, said Nani's remuneration is around Rs. 25–30 crore per film, depending on the project. Therefore, the reported Rs. 35 crore figure should be treated as an unconfirmed industry claim.
Nani has built a strong position in Telugu cinema through different types of films. He is known for choosing stories that are different from regular commercial movies. Films such as Eega, Jersey, Dasara, Hi Nanna and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram have added to his popularity.
With The Paradise, Nani is also stepping into a film that is being made on a large scale. The movie is expected to reach audiences beyond the Telugu market. Its pan-India release has also increased interest in the project.
The film has Nani playing the lead role, while Kayadu Lohar is also part of the cast. Srikanth Odela is directing the project. The director became widely known after the success of Dasara, which also starred Nani.
Nani has also expanded his work beyond acting. He has worked as a producer and has supported films with different stories. His production work includes projects such as the HIT franchise and Court – State vs. A Nobody.
The Paradise is scheduled to release worldwide on September 24, 2026. With the film's release getting closer, fans are waiting to see Nani in a new role.
If the reported Rs. 35 crore remuneration is accurate, it would reflect the growing scale of Nani's projects. For now, though, the exact amount remains unconfirmed, and an official clarification from the makers would be needed.
