On Saturday, actor Nani dropped a new photograph from his upcoming film, The Paradise, where he can be seen with braided ponytails and a clenched fist. "August. Zamana Begins (The era starts)" reads the caption for the post. The latest photograph of Nani's character from the upcoming film has added to the excitement around its release among his fans. It comes just before the release of the teaser, which is set to be unveiled on August 06, Thursday.

The 'Jadal' (braided) look of the actor has been one of the main points of discussion surrounding The Paradise among fans, who praise his striking avatar and bold transformation for the film.

The film brings Nani back together with his Dasara filmmaker Srikanth Odela. Produced by SLV Cinemas, it is set for an August 21 release in theatres worldwide also with dubs in Hindi, Tamil, English, Spanish, Bengali, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The makers have been actively promoting the film over the last few months, heightening the anticipation around it with each new update. The 'Aaya Sher' song, for example, has become a chartbuster, with its official video garnering more than 200 million views on YouTube. Nani's so-called 'hook step' from the said song has become viral ever since the track dropped online, with several influencers and even actors hopping on the trend with their renditions of the challenging step. A subsequent 'Aaya Sher' making video also grabbed the attention of fans, especially for the immersive behind-the-scenes look it offers.

The makers of the film have also reached out to Ryan Reynolds, who is best known for the Deadpool films, to present it to international audiences. The upcoming film also stars Raghav Juyal of Kill fame, Mohan Babu, Sonali Kulkarni, Kayadu Lohar, and Sampoornesh Babu, among others.
