The makers of The Paradise have officially begun the film’s promotional campaign with the announcement of its first single, Aaya Sher, set to release on February 24, 2026. The track, composed by Anirudh Ravichander, is timed as a special celebration release and is expected to set the tone for the film’s intense, action-driven narrative. The film itself is scheduled for a grand worldwide theatrical release on August 21, 2026.
Headlined by Natural Star Nani, the period action drama is directed by Srikanth Odela, marking their second collaboration after the 2023 blockbuster Dasara. Set in 1980s Secunderabad, the story follows a marginalized tribal community’s fight against systemic discrimination, led by Nani’s fierce character, Jadal (also referred to as Dhagad). Early glimpses suggest a raw, high-voltage narrative with gritty action and emotional depth.
The ensemble cast includes Kayadu Lohar as the female lead, Raghav Juyal as the antagonist, along with veteran actor Mohan Babu, Sampoornesh Babu, and Sonali Kulkarni in pivotal roles. Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the banner of SLV Cinemas, the film boasts strong technical backing, including cinematography by G.K. Vishnu and editing by Navin Nooli.
Originally slated for a March 2026 release, The Paradise was postponed to ensure a polished final product and avoid a crowded box-office window. The film will release in eight languages — Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, English, and Spanish — underscoring its ambitious global reach.
With reports suggesting that post-theatrical digital rights have been acquired by Netflix, the scale of the project is evident. As Aaya Sher prepares to drop, anticipation around The Paradise is steadily building into what could be one of 2026’s biggest pan-Indian cinematic events.
