Telugu superstar Nani has set social media abuzz with the release of the powerful first-look poster of his upcoming film The Paradise. The poster introduces Nani as Jadal, a gritty and intense character that promises a raw, revolutionary narrative. The film marks his reunion with Srikanth Odela, the director of their blockbuster hit Dasara, and is scheduled for a nationwide release on March 26, 2026.
Jadal: A Voice for the Voiceless
Nani shared the poster on Instagram with the caption: “His Name/వాడి పేరు, ‘Jadal’, ‘జడల్’. Calling a spade a spade.” The film will be released in seven languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, and English—highlighting its pan-Indian appeal.
The film’s thematic core is reinforced by a striking new poster: a vertical rifle piercing stormy clouds, with a lone man standing at its tip, surrounded by birds. The phrase “AND IT BEGINS TODAY” adds a dramatic touch, hinting at the film’s larger-than-life scale and symbolic undertones.
A Raw Statement of Resistance
Earlier in March, the makers released a teaser titled Raw Statement, which opened with the disclaimer: “raw truth, raw language.” The haunting voiceover explores the untold stories of marginalized communities, symbolized by crows, rising from oppression to reclaim their strength and dignity. The teaser centers on a young rebel who leads a movement for justice, portraying his evolution into a powerful leader.
Anirudh Ravichander composes the soundtrack and also lends vocals alongside Arjun Chandy, enhancing the film’s emotional intensity.
With a compelling mix of action, social commentary, and visual symbolism, The Paradise is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious and impactful films in Nani’s career.
