Nani has confirmed that his upcoming film The Paradise will not have a traditional trailer before its theatrical release. The actor explained that the makers want audiences to experience the film itself rather than reveal too much through another promotional video. Directed by Srikanth Odela, the film has already generated curiosity through its teaser and songs, including “Aaya Sher” and “Yeshanagula.” It is currently scheduled to release in theatres on September 24, 2026.
Nani Confirms No Trailer For The Paradise
The decision to skip a trailer is an unusual promotional move for a big Telugu release. Nani confirmed that audiences will not get another conventional preview before the film reaches theatres. The actor's reasoning is centred on the belief that the movie itself is more important than its promotional material.
Instead of giving away more footage or details, the team appears keen to preserve the mystery surrounding the project. This approach could also make the theatrical experience more intriguing for viewers who have been following the film since its teaser.
Why The Makers Are Keeping The Film Under Wraps
Very little about The Paradise's story has been revealed so far, despite the strong curiosity around Nani's transformation and Srikanth Odela's follow-up to Dasara. The teaser has already introduced audiences to a dark and intense world, while Nani appears in a striking new look featuring long hair and a more muscular appearance.
The actor has described the project as one of the most physically and mentally demanding films of his career. With the trailer now officially ruled out, the makers can maintain that controlled approach to revealing the film's world and characters.

The Paradise Targets Its Telugu Audience
Nani has also pushed back against the tendency to label every major South Indian release as a “pan-India” film. Instead, he has indicated that The Paradise is primarily aimed at the Telugu audience, even though the film is expected to have a wider release.
His comments underline the importance of Telugu cinema's core audience for the project. Rather than positioning the movie around a pan-India label, the team appears focused on making the film work strongly within its original language and market.
September 24 Release Adds To The Curiosity
The Paradise marks another collaboration between Nani and director Srikanth Odela after their successful association on Dasara. The upcoming film has faced considerable anticipation, particularly because of its intense visual world and Nani's dramatically different appearance.
The makers have also recently reaffirmed the September 24, 2026 theatrical release amid speculation about a possible delay. Reports indicate that production and post-production work have been progressing close to the release date.
Final Take
Nani's confirmation that The Paradise will skip a trailer makes the film's promotional strategy even more intriguing. With its story details being kept under wraps and the Telugu audience remaining the primary focus, viewers may have to wait until September 24 to discover what Srikanth Odela and Nani have created.
