The Kerala release

A Dasara reunion
The Paradise reunites Nani with Srikanth Odela, who directed him in Dasara. Nani plays Jadal in the period action drama, set in a Secunderabad slum in the 1980s, with Raghav Juyal as the antagonist and Mohan Babu and Sonali Kulkarni in the cast.
Anirudh Ravichander composed the music, his third film with Nani after Jersey and Gang Leader. Keerthy Suresh, Nani's Dasara co-star, makes a special appearance in the song "Yeshanagula".
Two delays and mixed reviews
The film was first set for March 26, 2026, and was pushed to August 21 and then to September 24. The Paradise opened to mixed reviews, with Nani's performance and the technical work praised and the screenplay and violence criticised.
Keerthy's own streaming release is close behind: her Netflix series Akka arrives on October 30.
