The Natural star of Telugu cinema, Nani, is all set to go pan-India with his upcoming action-thriller ‘The Paradise’. The movie has been making headlines since the day its first look dropped. Directed by Srikanth Odela, who reunites with Nani after the massive success of ‘Dasara’, the movie will be released under the banner of SLV Cinemas. Reports suggest that the team has finally contacted the ‘Deadpool’ star Ryan Reynolds for a key role in the upcoming project.
Is ‘Deadpool’ really taking over ‘The Paradise’?
According to a report by Mid Day, the production team of ‘The Paradise’ had been trying to establish a connection with Ryan’s team for three months. It was the last two weeks when they finally got in touch with the Hollywood actor’s team.
If all goes according to the team’s plan, then the upcoming movie will become a major turning point in Telugu cinema, increasing its global appeal.

What makes Ryan a great fit for the movie?
Ryan has a universal fan base, and his name alone is enough for international marketing. His association with the production team can take this regional epic to a global conversation.
Since ‘The Pardise’ is a Telugu action-thriller with themes of oppression, rebellion, and survival, it fits perfectly with the tone of roles Ryan actually plays. He is widely appreciated for the mix of action, dark humour, and chaos in movies like Deadpool and Underground, which mirrors the film’s energy perfectly.
About the movie
The upcoming movie ‘The Paradise’ will be Nani’s second major collaboration. With the first look featuring Nani in braided hair and a fierce expression, the movie is being described as “India’s Mad Max” by Nani himself.
The epic thriller is speculated to release around March 26, 2026. The anticipated film is being designed for a global appeal, releasing in eight languages, including English and Spanish.
Along with the lead cast members Nani, Kayadu Lohar, and Mohan Babu, the Ba***** of Bollywood actor Raghav Juyal, is rumoured to be marking his Tamil debut through this movie.
Fans have been flooding X with their tweets asking about the confirmation of the news, but there has been no official announcement by the team members.
