Nani confirms no trailer for The Paradise as shoot wraps up, release set for Sept 24, 2026

Nani has confirmed that The Paradise will not receive a trailer ahead of its release, even as filming has wrapped. The action thriller is slated to release in theatres on September 24, 2026. In a recent media interaction, the team explained that the decision stems from confidence in the film’s content and its existing public interest. Director Srikanth Odela added that the producers believe the current buzz around the project is sufficient, making a trailer unnecessary. The release plan also clarifies that The Paradise will not be positioned as a pan-Indian release, with a primary focus on the Telugu audience. Release details

Nani described the film as a mother-son story set against a revolutionary and emotional backdrop. The runtime is listed at two hours and 49 minutes, and the project has earned an ‘A’ certification. The film’s makers had earlier released a teaser that showcased high-octane action and included glimpses of an ensemble cast, including Raghav Juyal, Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Tanikella Bharani, Sonali Kulkarni, Sampoornesh Babu, and Eeshwari Rao in pivotal roles. DPIFF News coverage notes the teaser’s debut came a few days prior, offering a snapshot of the film’s scale and stakes.

Initially scheduled for an August 2026 release, The Paradise was postponed to September 24, with premieres planned for September 23. A second single from the film, Yeshanagula, has been released as a dance number composed by Anirudh Ravichander, featuring a special appearance by Keerthy Suresh.

Nani’s upcoming slate also includes HIT: The Third Case, the third installment in the HIT franchise, and the action entertainer Bloody Romeo. Reports suggest Bloody Romeo may be delayed while the director potentially shifts to OG 2 before continuing with that project. In the same media interaction, Nani said he is not moving entirely toward the action genre and indicated that both The Paradise and Bloody Romeo will clarify his trajectory.

The Paradise thus remains on track for a September 24, 2026 release, with no trailer planned and a targeted Telugu audience. For ongoing updates on DPIFF coverage and release information, visit our news page and the release section.
