The Paradise has emerged as one of the most anticipated films of 2026, generating immense curiosity among audiences ever since its announcement. Directed by the talented Srikanth Odela, who is riding high on the massive success of Dasara, the film stars Natural Star Nani in the lead role. The project marks another exciting collaboration between Nani and Odela, a duo that previously delivered a blockbuster with Dasara.
Adding to the growing excitement, the makers have now made a major announcement about the film, which has taken the internet by storm. The makers have unveiled the new release date of The Paradise, along with an intense and striking new poster that features two long braided ponytails with blood dripping from their ends, set against a dark and eerie backdrop. The striking visual hints at a gritty, intense narrative and promises a high-octane action thriller.
Sharing the poster, the makers announced, "Mere Pyaare Paradise Waasiyon - #JadalZamanaFromAug21 #TheParadise GRAND RELEASE WORLDWIDE ON AUGUST 21st, 2026 Releasing in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, English, and Spanish.

Srikanth Odela also shared the poster and wrote, "I don’t want to rush.I need some time to deliver it. #TheParadise - 21-08-2026."
The Paradise is shaping up to be another ambitious cinematic venture from Srikanth Odela, known for his unique storytelling style and sharp attention to detail. The filmmaker made a remarkable debut with Dasara, which not only received widespread critical appreciation but also crossed the ₹100 crore mark, becoming the biggest hit of Nani’s career. Despite having a limited filmography, Odela has quickly established himself as a filmmaker to watch, and expectations from The Paradise are significantly higher.
Elevating the film’s intensity further, the original soundtrack composed by Anirudh Ravichander, along with vocals by Anirudh and Arjun Chandy, adds a powerful and immersive layer, perfectly complementing the film’s gripping narrative.
