Nani’s much-awaited film The Paradise has received a mixed response after its release. Many critics did not appreciate the film, and social media was also filled with criticism and trolls. Despite this, the film collected nearly Rs 75 crore gross worldwide on its opening day, which is a big number and also the best opening of Nani’s career.
Directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by Cherukuri Sudhakar, the film features Kayadu Lohar as the female lead. Anirudh is the music director, while Keerthy Suresh appeared in the special song 'Yeshunagula'.
Responding to the criticism, reviews and trolls, Nani took everything positively and said that he had seen all the reactions. He also said that he learnt from the flaws pointed out by critics and reviewers.
“I have seen all your reactions and responses. I’ve received all your love and equally enjoyed your hilarious trolls. I’m heartwarmed by the way the audience have owned the film, and also learnt from the flaws that critics and reviewers have pointed out,” said Nani.
The actor further added that they made The Paradise with a lot of blood and sweat to give the audience a unique experience.
“Thank you for everything is all I can say. We have made #TheParadise with a lot of blood and sweat to give you a unique experience, and it’s all yours to celebrate or judge. With the excitement you had for the film and the affection you showed on me, I am filled with gratitude,” Nani said in his social media post.
The film took a considerable amount of time to complete, and this is the first time in Nani’s career that he has taken so long to come up with a film. The makers announced a few release dates earlier but could not make it to those dates. The film finally arrived in theatres on September 24, with premieres held on Wednesday night.
