`The Paradise’: Makers of Nani-starrer movie hold discussion with Hollywood’s production house

Hyderabad: Makers of `The Paradise’ have reached out to Hollywood-based Connekkt MobScene to explore collaboration in a bid to strengthen the project’s global appeal.

In this regard, the filmmakers are holding talks with Alexandra E. Visconti, Executive Vice President, Creative Content at Connekkt MobScene.

International Expansion Plans

Industry sources indicate that the team is also in discussions to bring a Hollywood actor, popular among Indian audiences, on board for the film’s international version. This step aligns with the larger strategy of presenting The Paradise as a pan-world release rather than a regional project.

Film Details

Directed by Srikanth Odela of Dasara fame and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under SLV Cinemas, the film features Nani in what is being described as his most challenging role yet. First-look posters and a behind-the-scenes feature titled Spark of Paradise have already drawn attention to the project.

The film is set to release worldwide on March 26, 2026, in eight languages—Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, English, and Spanish.

Cast

The ensemble cast brings together a mix of established and new faces:

• Nani takes the lead as Jadal, a fierce and layered character central to the story.

• Kayadu Lohar has been confirmed as the female lead opposite Nani.

• Sonali Kulkarni joins the film in a pivotal role.

• Raghav Juyal, known for his unique screen presence, makes his Tollywood debut as the antagonist.

New Faces and Technical Crew

Alongside the cast, the technical team includes cinematographer C. H. Sai, editor Naveen Nooli, production designer Avinash Kolla, and music composer Anirudh Ravichander, whose soundtrack is expected to play a major role in shaping the film’s mood and scale.

Release Strategy

With promotions planned on a large scale and an international release strategy in motion, the makers are shaping The Paradise as one of the most ambitious Indian films targeting audiences across multiple continents.
