Some birthday posts trend for a few hours and disappear. But this one felt different. It wasn’t just a cake picture or a stylish poster. It was a director opening his heart in public, admitting things he says he had never told the actor directly before.
That is why fans of Nani are still talking about it. And honestly, it also made the excitement around his upcoming film The Paradise even stronger.
So what really happened? And what new updates have come out about the film? Let’s go step by step in simple words.
What Did Srikanth Odela Actually Say to Nani?
Director Srikanth Odela shared a long, emotional message on social media wishing Nani on his birthday. But it was not a normal greeting. It felt like a confession.
He admitted that he had never directly expressed these feelings to Nani before. He said he felt compelled to say it publicly now. According to him, every time Nani told him “Ni istam Srikanth” which means “It’s your wish,” he heard something deeper. To him, it meant “I trust you.”
And that trust scared him.
Not in a bad way. But in a way that pushed him to give his full energy. He wrote that the trust made him pour his blood and soul into The Paradise. He also said he is still searching for the deeper meaning behind Nani’s constant faith in him. Maybe, he hopes, he will find that answer through the journey of this film.
That line really stayed with fans.
“I Broke Your Rules” – What Did He Mean?
This part shocked many readers. Odela openly said he broke several of Nani’s established cinema patterns during the making of the film.
He explained in simple but powerful words:
-
He changed Nani’s usual working day structure
-
He disrupted his release date streak
-
He experimented with his performance style
-
He challenged his established approach to filmmaking
He even said, “Each time I broke you, you built me.”
That sentence shows how much respect he has for the actor.
He revealed that when he asked Nani to wear braids for the role, the actor agreed without hesitation. When he suggested a controversial slur as a tattoo for authenticity, Nani said yes. Even during multiple retakes, when things got exhausting, Nani responded with the same calm trust.
In an industry where ego clashes are common, this kind of cooperation is not small.
How Dasara’s 100 Crore Success Brought Them Closer
Before The Paradise, the duo worked together on Dasara. That film was not just a success, it was a turning point.
Dasara marked Srikanth Odela’s directorial debut. It crossed the ₹100 crore mark worldwide and received strong critical appreciation. For Odela, that film changed his career. For Nani, it proved he could reinvent himself again and again.
Many industry observers believe their bond became stronger during that project. So when they decided to reunite for The Paradise, expectations automatically became huge.
And now, after this emotional birthday message, fans feel even more connected to this collaboration.
Aaya Sher Song Promo Hints at a Powerful Comeback
As if the birthday post was not enough, the makers also unveiled the promo of the first single titled “Aaya Sher.”
Composed by Anirudh Ravichander, the short teaser already created noise online. The beats are loud. The background score is powerful. It feels like a celebration anthem with a gritty touch.
Nani shared the promo himself with a bold line saying he will “become the address.” That statement alone sparked curiosity. It sounds intense and larger-than-life.
The promo visuals show smoke, chaos, sweat and a raw setting. It hints that this film is not going to be soft or simple. It looks grand and rough at the same time.
The Paradise New Release Date and Big Pan India Plans
Originally, the film was expected to arrive earlier in the year. But the makers have now postponed it. The new release date is August 21.
The announcement came with a fresh poster. Instead of disappointment, fans reacted with more curiosity. Sometimes delays increase anticipation.
What makes it even bigger is the scale of release. The film will be released in eight languages:
-
Telugu
-
Hindi
-
Tamil
-
Kannada
-
Malayalam
-
Bengali
-
English
-
Spanish
That clearly shows the makers are aiming beyond just regional markets. They want international reach too.
Raghav Juyal’s Transformation Surprise
Another interesting update is the addition of Raghav Juyal to the cast. This will mark his Telugu debut.
Raghav recently revealed he is undergoing a major transformation for the film. He even said fans are seeing him in his “current look” for the last time before he shifts into a completely new avatar.
He confirmed that shooting is happening in Hyderabad and expressed excitement about entering Tollywood. His involvement adds a fresh layer of curiosity because he has been gaining attention for intense performances recently.
Why The Paradise Is Becoming a Landmark Project
With:
-
A strong emotional actor-director bond
-
A previous ₹100 crore success together
-
Anirudh’s energetic music
-
A high-scale multi-language release
-
A powerful first single promo
The Paradise is slowly shaping up as one of the most anticipated Telugu films of the year.
There is pressure too. After Dasara, expectations are not normal. But sometimes pressure creates magic.
And maybe that is why Odela’s message felt so heavy. It wasn’t just about gratitude. It was about responsibility.

Why Nani’s Birthday Message Is Going Vira
What made this moment stand out is simple. Honesty.
Odela admitted he had never told Nani these things directly. He said he is still searching for the reason behind Nani’s constant trust. That kind of vulnerability is rare in public posts.
It did not feel like promotion. It felt personal.
And maybe that is why fans connected so deeply. Because cinema is not just about box office numbers. It is also about relationships, belief, and creative courage.
Now all eyes are on The Paradise. Not just because it is a big film. But because it carries a story behind the story.
