Nani’s ‘The Paradise’ Unveils Plot Details: ‘This Is India’s “Mad Max”’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Actor Nani and director Srikanth Odela reunite for 'The Paradise,' a raw portrayal of tribal oppression in 1980s India with global ambitions.

In what’s being positioned as “India’s ‘Mad Max,'” star Nani and acclaimed director Srikanth Odela have unveiled details for “ The Paradise,” an examination of societal prejudice set against the backdrop of 1980s Secunderabad. The film follows a marginalized tribe stripped of their rights who find hope in an unlikely leader — a character described simply as “a bastard” — who guides their fight for citizenship and recognition in a system designed to keep them oppressed. “You don’t need an identity to be a leader” serves as the film’s central thesis, with Odela promising to tackle bureaucracy, oppression and exploitation without the filters typically applied to Indian cinema.
