Nani's 'The Paradise' faces production delays; March 2026 release likely to be postponed: Reports
Picture Credit: X
Tollywood star Nani's much-awaited pan-India period action drama, 'The Paradise', directed by Vivek Athreya was launched early this summer. The intense first glimpse video features Nani as a rebel leader.
With fans excited to see the star in his new avatar on the big screen, rumours are rife that the film may just be delayed.
According to a 123Telugu report, the shooting of the film is getting delayed due to multiple logistical problems. A major reason for the delay is due to the construction of elaborate sets, crucial to the film. These sets, reportedly massive in scale, are said to be central to several key portions of the story.
The delay in its completion has paused the filming schedule.
This has led to speculations about the film's release date. As of now, 'The Paradise' is officially slated to hit the big screens on March 27, 2026, a date that clashes with Ram Charan's much-awaited project, 'Peddi,' which is also scheduled for a global release on the same day.
However, with the current pace of progress, it seems that 'The Paradise' may not make its March 2026 deadline.
It is suggested that the makers are internally considering a possible postponement, with May 2026 emerging as a likely window for the film's release.
The makers are yet to issue an official confirmation regarding the change in release date.
'The Paradise' also features Sonali Kulkarni. The music of the film is composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
The film's teaser hints at the story of a tribe, metaphorically described as "crows", struggling for recognition in a society that discriminates against them.
