Nani starrer 'The Paradise' team hits back at trolls, confirms film is "on the right track"

Nani will be working on his upcoming film, 'The Paradise' directed by Srikanth Odela and recently there have been rumours surfacing on the internet regarding the film facing financial difficulties and suggesting Nani might not have the market pull to shoulder a project of this magnitude. However, the makers of the film strongly refuted these claims, assuring fans that the film is "on the right track".

Taking to their official X (formerly Twitter) account, the makers issued a fiery statement addressing the rumors and trolls. Calling out detractors as “clowns” and “rabid dogs,” they dismissed the speculation as baseless hate.

Their note reads, "To all (clown emoji)s out there, you feed on us... because we let you do so. #TheParadise is rising in all its glory. Rest assured, it is on the right track. And you all will witness it soon. Meanwhile, keep feeding on us as much as you can. Because...'Gajaraju nadiste..Gajji kukkalu arustayi..' As much as we are absorbing all the love, we are also observing all the baseless hate that is coming against us. We will take all the love and also the hate and convert all that into an ENERGY that will drive #TheParadise to be one of the greatest films to come out of TFI. To all of those tweeters/feeders - Get Well soon you (clown emoji)s :) And to all those who are rooting for us, all our departments are rigorously working in full swing to bring you all a new world. We will make a cinema we all will be proud of. Promise."

This film marks the second collaboration between Nani and Srikantha Odela after their successful film, 'Dasara'.

Nani plays a fierce leader who rises from a marginalized tribe to fight for citizenship and recognition in a system designed to suppress them. The first glimpse of the film showcased Nani in a strikingly different avatar as he sports Dutch braids and a bold tattoo.

The movie is set to release on March 26, 2026.
