Nani is currently working on his much-anticipated action thriller 'The Paradise', a project that has been in production for a considerable period. However, recent reports indicate that the extended timeline of this film is causing the 'Jersey' actor to miss out on other promising projects.
Repeated Delays Impacting Production
Nani's commitment to 'The Paradise' has led to repeated delays in shooting schedules. These setbacks have sparked discussions regarding the film's budget, release date, and overall production challenges. The delays are not only affecting this particular film but are also slowing down Nani's entire lineup of upcoming projects.
Missed Collaborations with Directors
According to Telugu 360, several directors who were previously in talks with Nani for their films have now replaced him. Director Shouryuv, who worked with Nani on the hit film 'Hi Nanna', intended to collaborate again. However, due to Nani's unavailability, Shouryuv narrated the story to Vijay Deverakonda, who immediately agreed to the project. Interestingly, Nani attended the pooja ceremony of the film and even gave the first clap as the project commenced.
Similarly, director Cibi Chakravarthi initially discussed a film with Nani but later moved on without waiting. Additionally, director TJ Gnanavel wrote a script specifically for Nani, but after prolonged delays, he approached Suriya, who has now agreed to star in that film.
Nani's Last Film
On the work front, Nani was last seen playing a cop in 'HIT: The Third Case', directed by Sailesh Kolanu. The film is an A-rated crime investigation and survival drama featuring a strong cast including Rao Ramesh, Samuthirakani, and Komalee Prasad, with music composed by Mickey J Meyer.
Upcoming 'The Paradise'
Nani's upcoming film 'The Paradise' features Kayadu Lohar, Raghav Juyal, Mohan Babu, Tanikella Bharani, Sonali Kulkarni, Sampoornesh Babu, and Eeshwari Rao in key roles. The film's prolonged production continues to be a topic of discussion among fans and industry insiders.
