Nani Unleashes a Fierce New Avatar as Jadal: The Paradise Poster Sets the Tone for a Gritty Pan-India Epic

The excitement around The Paradise continues to intensify as the makers unveiled Natural Star Nani’s striking new look on the occasion of New Year. Directed by Srikanth Odela of Dasara fame and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner, the film is being crafted as a large-scale period action drama with a strong pan-India appeal.

Earlier first-look posters featuring Nani, Mohan Babu, and Sampoornesh Babu received an overwhelming response. Building on that momentum, the latest poster introduces Nani as Jadal, a character that marks one of the darkest and most intense transformations of his career.

In this new reveal, Nani appears rugged and intimidating, sporting a heavily built physique, long braided hair, and a thick beard with a curled moustache. His fierce look is further amplified by red-tinted glasses, heavy metal chains, and a sleeveless black outfit, creating a raw and menacing presence that instantly grabs attention.

The poster reportedly captures a moment from a high-octane prison fight sequence involving foreign fighters, a pivotal action block that plays a crucial role in the narrative. Known for his grounded yet powerful storytelling, Srikanth Odela seems to be shaping The Paradise with the same gritty realism and intensity that made Dasara stand out.

On the technical front, CH Sai handles cinematography, while Rockstar Anirudh Ravichander scores the music. Navin Nooli is in charge of editing, and Avinash Kolla oversees production design, ensuring a visually rich and immersive cinematic experience.

The Paradise is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on March 26, 2026, across eight languages — Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, English, and Spanish. With its ambitious scale, intense characterizations, and global rollout, the film is positioning itself as a pan-world spectacle, aiming to showcase Indian cinema on an international platform.
