Heroine Change Buzz Around Nani’s The Paradise: Did a Star Actress Opt Out?

Natural Star Nani is known for choosing content-driven films rather than sticking to routine commercial cinema. With consecutive successes, he has carved a unique space for himself in Telugu cinema. He is currently working on The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela, who earlier delivered the blockbuster Dasara. This combination has already created strong expectations among audiences.

Set in the backdrop of Secunderabad slums during the 1980s, The Paradise is being made as a raw and rustic period action drama. Nani is said to be appearing in a powerful mass-oriented role. The makers are reportedly planning a multi-language release across nearly eight languages, adding to the film’s growing buzz.

Meanwhile, discussions around the female lead have caught attention. Initially, Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor was reportedly approached to play the lead opposite Nani. However, due to prior commitments and date issues, she is said to have opted out of the project. Janhvi is currently busy with multiple projects, including a major pan-India film and several Hindi ventures.

After her exit, reports suggest that actress Kayadu Lohar has been finalised for the role. An official confirmation from the makers is still awaited. Fans are now keenly waiting for clarity on the final casting details.
