The Paradise Team Races Against Time
Director Srikanth Odela is under a lot of pressure because the timeline is tight. Even though 122 days may look like a big number, time is moving very quickly.
By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 21 April 2026 11:05 AM ISTNatural star Nani is getting ready to surprise audiences with his upcoming movie The Paradise. The film is already creating huge buzz, and fans are eagerly waiting for its release on August 21. What makes this film special is that Nani is trying something very different this time. Reports say the movie will have a more intense and violent story, which is new for his image. This has increased curiosity among movie lovers.
Right now, only 122 days are left for the release, and the team is working very fast to complete everything on time. So far, about 95 working days of shooting have been completed. Still, around 40 more days of work are pending. After that, the team will have nearly 80 days for post-production work like editing, background music, and visual effects.
Director Srikanth Odela is under a lot of pressure because the timeline is tight. Even though 122 days may look like a big number, time is moving very quickly. Since The Paradise is a pan-India movie, the team has to focus on multiple languages, not just Telugu. Promotions, trailer launch, interviews, and events across India must also be planned carefully.
The budget of the film is said to be very high. To recover this cost, the movie needs to earn big at the box office. Reports suggest that it should collect at least ₹100 crore from theatres to be considered successful.
The trailer will play a key role in building hype. Even though Nani promoted his previous films like Dasara and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, they did not perform as expected in Hindi. So, the team is taking extra care this time to attract a wider audience.
The casting is also interesting. Raghav Juyal has been selected as the second villain, which has caught attention. Also, the first song has already become popular, and fans are now waiting for the next track.
