Nani is intensifying promotions for his upcoming action drama The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela. During a press interaction in Bengaluru, the actor revealed an important Kannada connection linked to the film and shared fresh details about its emotional core, action sequences and music.
The Paradise is scheduled to arrive in theatres on September 24, 2026. The film reportedly revolves around a rebellion against oppressive landlords and combines a socially rooted narrative with intense action, powerful emotions and ambitious visuals.
Nani described the relationship between a mother and her son as one of the central elements of the story. According to the actor, the film presents this bond with honesty and emotional strength while ensuring that the larger narrative remains energetic and suitable for the theatrical experience.
Nani promises emotion, action and powerful visuals
Speaking to the media, Nani said The Paradise would deliver intense action sequences supported by striking visuals and high energy. He expressed confidence that the film’s scale and presentation would offer audiences an engaging big-screen experience.
The actor’s reunion with director Srikanth Odela has increased expectations surrounding the project. Their earlier collaboration, Dasara, was appreciated for its rustic setting, emotional intensity and distinctive visual treatment. The Paradise is expected to explore another rooted world while expanding the scale of their storytelling.
The cast includes Mohan Babu, Sonali Kulkarni, Raghav Juyal and Kayadu Lohar in important roles. Their inclusion has strengthened interest in the film, with each performer expected to contribute significantly to its emotionally charged narrative.
Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music. Nani praised the composer’s work and said the songs released from the film had received an encouraging response from audiences. The background score is also expected to play an important role in elevating the action and emotional portions.
Deekshit Shetty lends his voice to Nani
One of the biggest revelations from the Bengaluru promotional event was the involvement of Kannada actor Deekshit Shetty. Nani confirmed that his Dasara co-star provided the Kannada dubbing voice for his character in The Paradise.
Nani praised Deekshit’s voice and expressed appreciation for his contribution to the Kannada version. Their connection goes back to Dasara, in which Deekshit played a prominent role alongside Nani. His involvement in The Paradise adds familiarity and authenticity for Kannada-speaking audiences.
The dubbing decision could also help the film strengthen its reach in Karnataka, where Nani enjoys considerable recognition. Having a familiar Kannada actor voice the lead character may allow the dialogues and emotions to connect more naturally with local viewers.
With its mother-son relationship, conflict against oppression, large-scale action and Anirudh’s music, The Paradise is being positioned as a major theatrical entertainer. Nani and Srikanth Odela’s reunion remains the project’s biggest attraction, while Deekshit Shetty’s dubbing contribution gives the Kannada version a noteworthy regional connection.
