About The Paradise

The Paradise is directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri and Ishan Saksena, under Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwara Cinemas and IVY Entertainment. It stars Nani, Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Sonali Kulkarni and Raghav Juyal. Set in the 1980s in the fictional Paradise, it tells the story of a tribe named Savaari who fight for legal recognition from the government. Jadal, who initially goes against his mother Sammakka’s cause, soon joins her in the fight.

Nani initially acknowledged the trolls and lukewarm reviews the film received in a post on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “I have seen all your reactions and responses. I’ve received all your love and equally enjoyed your hilarious trolls. I’m heartwarmed by the way audience have owned the film, and also learnt from the flaws that critics and reviewers have pointed out.” He has since celebrated its box office success with the film’s team and attended a special screening for Rapido drivers.
