This Is Why ‘The Paradise’ Was Delayed – Srikanth Odela

Natural Star Nani and director Srikanth Odela are teaming up again for the highly anticipated film ‘The Paradise’. The movie stars Kayadu Lohar as the female lead, with Mohan Babu, Raghav Juyal and Sampoornesh Babu in key roles. As part of the promotions, a recent conversation between Srikanth Odela and Raghav Juyal has gone viral on social media. Srikanth revealed that his fear of not meeting audience expectations was one of the main reasons behind the production delay.

Explaining the film’s journey, Srikanth said he initially planned to make a single movie, but the story expanded considerably as he continued writing. He revealed that the team searched for nearly eight months for the right actor to play the antagonist before selecting Raghav Juyal. According to Srikanth, he did not want to compromise on even small details because the film was being made for the audience. He also clarified that ‘The Paradise’ is not an adult film and assured that families can watch it together. The director described it as an emotional film designed to appeal to Nani’s regular audience as well as family viewers. The film is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on September 24.
