Nani and director Srikanth Odela have officially announced that their pan-Indian project, The Paradise, will no longer hit theaters in March.
The team shared a joint statement on February 12, citing a commitment to quality over speed: “We don’t want to rush. We need time to deliver it.”
The film is now locked for a grand release on August 21, 2026.
This five-month delay allows the team to focus on the heavy VFX and high-octane action sequences that define this 1980s Secunderabad-set drama.
This marks Nani’s second collaboration with Odela after ‘Dasara’, and it is reportedly the most expensive film of the actor’s career.
