What is the production timeline of The Paradise, from its 2024 announcement as “Nani 33” to its September 2026 release?
The Paradise didn’t appear out of nowhere — it moved through a fairly long, publicly tracked production process before hitting theaters. Here’s the order of events.
📅 Timeline
- March 2024 — The project begins production under the working title “Nani 33,” marking Nani’s 33rd lead role.
- November 2024 — The final title, The Paradise, is revealed.
- June 2025 — Filming begins, shot across large custom-built sets rather than relying on CGI, including a 30-acre slum environment and a separate water-village set.
- September 24, 2026 — The Paradise releases worldwide, with a 173-minute runtime.
What stands out about the timeline
The gap between the March 2024 start and the June 2025 start of filming — over a year — lines up with the scale of the physical sets built for the production. Building a 30-acre slum set and a water-village set instead of using CGI is the kind of undertaking that plausibly explains that lead time, though the specific reasons for the schedule aren’t detailed beyond the set construction itself.
Directed by Srikanth Odela, the film stars Nani alongside Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Sonali Kulkarni, and Raghav Juyal, with a Keerthy Suresh cameo.
