Nani’s ‘The Paradise’ Faces Trailer Delay, US Pre‑Sale Numbers Dip
By Screen Entry Desk · 17 September 2026

With its release just days away, Nani’s biggest project yet, ‘The Paradise’, is racing against time after the trailer was postponed, causing a slump in US pre‑sales. The star and director Srikanth Odela promise a grand finish despite the setback.
The much‑anticipated film ‘The Paradise’, billed as the biggest venture of Nani’s career, is now in a high‑stakes sprint to meet its scheduled release. The production team, led by director Srikanth Odela, has been working round the clock to lock in post‑production, visual effects, and sound design, all while the promotional calendar is being reshuffled.
Only a single press conference has been held so far, where Nani emphasized that the film’s scale and storytelling depth are worth the wait. He assured fans that the missing trailer is a strategic decision, not a sign of trouble, and that the final product will deliver a “cinematic experience unlike anything in recent Telugu cinema.”
However, the absence of a trailer has already impacted the film’s overseas market. Distributors in the United States reported a noticeable dip in pre‑sale commitments, citing the lack of visual material as a key factor. Trade analysts suggest that a delayed trailer could affect the film’s opening weekend collections in key diaspora territories.
In response, the producers have promised a surprise teaser in the coming days, aiming to reignite buzz and restore confidence among international buyers. The team remains confident that the film’s star power, combined with its ambitious production values, will ultimately overcome the promotional hiccup.
As the countdown continues, industry watchers are keeping a close eye on how ‘The Paradise’ navigates this final stretch. If the upcoming teaser lives up to expectations, it could not only salvage US pre‑sales but also set the stage for a blockbuster debut that reinforces Nani’s standing as a leading star in contemporary Tollywood.
