“We Don’t Want To Call It A Pan-India Film”: Nani Clarifies Strategy and Confirms The Paradise Will Skip a Traditional Trailer!
The Paradise has been touted as the “Baahubali of the slums,” reflecting the massive scale and ambitious vision of the project. Buzz surrounding the film remains at a fever pitch, driven by strong responses to its initial teaser and popular tracks, “Aaya Sher” and “Yeshanagula.” Addressing fans and media ahead of the release, Natural Star Nani assured audiences that every decision is guided by quality, emphasizing, “I am not taking the audience for granted.”
The Paradise is one of the most anticipated films of the year, starring Natural Star Nani in the lead role. Helmed by Srikanth Odela, the film marks his reunion with Nani after their blockbuster Dasara. The film’s song and teaser have already created immense anticipation among audiences. Featuring Nani in his most unhinged avatar yet, the film promises a potent mix of raw intensity, mass energy, and a never-seen-before screen presence.
In a surprising yet thoughtful move, Natural Star Nani has confirmed that the film will not have a traditional trailer launch before releasing in theaters on September 24. Addressing the media, Nani put rumors to rest and shared the genuine reason behind the decision, reassuring fans that it comes from a commitment to quality rather than complacency. While many in the industry suggested the film already had strong buzz after its August teaser, Nani explained that skipping the trailer wasn’t about relying on hype. He clarified, “The Paradise will not have a trailer. Someone said that even if we don’t promote from now, the film has enough hype to sustain it. I am not taking the audience for granted, though.”
He explained that putting together a cut that does justice to the film would mean pausing ongoing, critical post-production work. He added, “There are so many teams working hard now to deliver a quality film. If we give a trailer now, it needs to be stellar. To do that, we will have to set aside post-production for a few days. We had also hoped to release a good trailer, but given the circumstances, we made the decision not to release it.”
Addressing the scale and reach of the release, Nani also touched upon how the team views the project’s multi-language distribution. While multi-lingual releases are often branded heavily in today’s cinema market, Nani offered a grounded perspective on their target audience and hopes for the film’s regional reach. He stated, “We don’t want to call it a pan-India film. Along with Telugu, it will release in some other languages. Telugu is definitely our prime target, and I hope audiences in other languages also watch Paradise and enjoy it equally.”
Produced by SLV Cinemas, The Paradise is slated for a massive theatrical release on September 24, 2026, in eight languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, English, Spanish, Bengali, Kannada, and Malayalam. In a move that underlines the film’s global ambitions, the makers have reportedly approached Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds to present The Paradise across international markets. With its visionary director, powerhouse cast, and global scale, The Paradise is not just a film; it’s a cultural phenomenon in the making, fueling anticipation among fans eagerly awaiting.
