The makers of director Srikanth Odela’s eagerly awaited action entertainer “The Paradise,” featuring Telugu star Nani in the lead, have revealed that actor Sampoornesh Babu plays a character named ‘Biryani’ in the film.
Nani took to his X timeline to share the first look poster of Sampoornesh Babu, where he wrote, “Sampoo as BIRYANI 🙂 #TheParadise @sampoornesh.”
The poster showcases Sampoornesh smoking a beedi in one hand while holding a weapon in the other. His face bears a stern expression, with visible bloodstains on his hands.
The film has generated immense excitement among fans for various reasons. Many believe that “The Paradise” will be another cinematic spectacle from Srikanth Odela, highlighting his unique vision.
For those who may not know, Srikanth Odela previously worked as an assistant director under ace director Sukumar on “Nannaku Prematho” and “Rangasthalam.” He made his directorial debut with “Dasara,” which also starred Nani and received critical acclaim, crossing the ₹100 crore mark at the box office. Now, Odela and Nani have reunited for “The Paradise.”
Bollywood actor Raghav Juyal is also part of “The Paradise.” Earlier this year, the makers welcomed him to the film’s unit. While the specifics of his role remain undisclosed, sources indicate that he may play the antagonist. Raghav, riding high on the success of “Bads of Bollywood,” has announced plans to change his look for this film.
Adding to the film’s anticipation, esteemed music director Anirudh Ravichander is on board to compose the music, promising an impressive auditory experience.
Produced by SLV Cinemas, “The Paradise” is set for a grand release on March 26, 2026, and will be available in eight languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, English, Spanish, Bengali, Kannada, and Malayalam.
