Nani’s work front
Nani was last seen in the action thriller The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela. Set in the 1980s, the film follows Jadal, a young man who rises against the brutality of feudal landlord Shikanja Malik and his son. As violence against his community intensifies, Jadal unites his people and leads a bloody rebellion to secure their freedom and basic rights.
Apart from Nani, the film features Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Sonali Kulkarni, Raghav Juyal, Sampoornesh Babu, Easwari Rao and Tanikella Bharani in key roles. Keerthy Suresh, and Sathyaraj also make cameo appearances. Anirudh Ravichander has composed the film’s music and background score.
Looking ahead, the actor will play the lead role in Bloody Romeo, directed by Sujeeth. The film, previously announced by the actor, is described as a stylish action comedy.
According to Nani, the film will be a sleek and witty entertainer. He is expected to portray a character with two distinct identities: a chef and an outlaw. The actor has also revealed that the action sequences will not be excessively raw or gory.
Although details about the film’s plot and characters remain under wraps, reports suggest that Preity Mukundhan and Prithviraj Sukumaran could play key roles. The makers recently unveiled a new behind-the-scenes look, offering a glimpse of Nani’s new hairstyle.
