A press meet was successfully held in Chennai for the film The Paradise, starring ‘Natural Star’ Nani, which is set for a worldwide theatrical release on the 24th of this month.

Additionally, actress Keerthy Suresh makes a special appearance, performing in a single song. The film features cinematography by Ch. Sai and music composed by Anirudh. Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the banner of Sri Lakshmi Venkateswara Cinemas, the film is a mass action entertainer. Ishan Saxena of IVY Entertainment serves as the co-producer. Think Studios is presenting the film across Tamil Nadu.
An exclusive event was held at a star hotel in Chennai to promote the film, which is releasing as a pan-Indian movie in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. Director Srikanth Odela, lead actor ‘Natural Star’ Nani, and Swaroop Reddy of Think Studios participated in the event. Speaking at the event, Swaroop Reddy of ‘Think Studios’ said:
“The film The Paradise, starring Nani, is releasing during the Navaratri festival. There is immense anticipation for this movie because Nani is starring in it. We have consistently supported Nani’s films, and we expect this movie to receive tremendous support from the audience as well.”
Director Srikanth Odela said:
“I do not know Tamil. I will learn and speak Tamil for my next film. This movie speaks about a mother… and about revolution. We believe that a film of this genre will easily connect with the audience.”
Actor Nani said:
“The Paradise is releasing in theaters on the 24th. I don’t know if I am a good actor or not, but I know one thing for sure: I am a good member of the audience, just like you.
As a viewer, I have a desire to watch a ‘mass’ entertainer—a big, high-energy commercial film. However, such films are rarely released. I have been eagerly waiting to watch and enjoy a grand, mass-appeal movie in theaters. The Paradise is the film that fulfills that expectation.
Every fan and viewer needs a mass entertainer like this. This film is exactly that kind of movie. I say this with confidence. You will agree with me after you come to the theaters and watch it on the 24th.
In this film, we have addressed powerful emotions. At the same time, we have created a wonderful cinematic experience for the audience to enjoy in theaters.
Tamil films are like a ‘Bible’ to me. Artists from Tamil cinema have been the inspiration for my knowledge of cinema, my passion for it, my love for the medium, and the very reason I fell in love with movies.” One could cite many achievers in this context, such as Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam, Bhagyaraj, and Bharathiraja.
“Every time I visit Chennai, I feel as though I am returning to my own film family. I share a deep connection with Chennai and Tamil Nadu, and I have often experienced the immense love that Tamil fans have for me.
It is this profound affection for Tamil fans that motivates me to dub for my films in Tamil myself.
‘The Paradise’ is the film for which I have worked the hardest in my career; it is also the project I am looking forward to with great hope and confidence.
I can say with confidence that a high-quality cinematic experience awaits you in theaters on the 24th.
The next time I visit Chennai to promote a film, you will all address me by the name of the character I played in ‘The Paradise’—’Jadal’,” he said.
Following this, Director Srikanth Odela and actor Nani answered questions from the press. Nani also unveiled the first ticket for a special screening of ‘The Paradise’ arranged for his fans in Chennai.
