Fresh doubts are emerging around Paradise, the upcoming film starring Nani. Initially slated for a March release and later postponed to August, the project now faces uncertainty as reports suggest that shooting has yet to progress significantly.

The film is said to involve large-scale action sequences, heavy VFX work, and multiple shooting schedules that are still pending. Due to these factors, industry buzz indicates that the release could be pushed further to October or even December instead of August.

While a late 2026 release window may still be manageable, continued delays in production or post-production could potentially push the film into 2027, according to insiders.

Directed by Srikanth Odela, Paradise is mounted on a massive scale, with a reported budget of around ₹200 crore—expected to rise further with promotions and publicity. Sources also suggest that Nani is feeling the strain of the prolonged and demanding schedule.

With mounting pressure and shifting timelines, all eyes are now on how the team navigates the remaining production and whether Paradise can meet its revised release targets.
