What Is Nani's The Paradise About?
The Paradise is set in 1980s Hyderabad. The story revolves around the Savari community and its struggle for basic rights and recognition.
The community shown in the film is reportedly inspired by the real Shikari community. The group moved from Rajasthan to Telangana and Andhra Pradesh around the time India gained independence.
The Shikari community followed a nomadic lifestyle and faced a lack of social and political rights. It was later given OBC status, despite its demand for SC/ST status. The film uses a different name for the community. However, its story centres on a similar struggle for recognition and dignity.
Director Srikanth Odela has also revealed that several real-life incidents inspired the story of The Paradise. He said the idea came from things he had seen while growing up in his hometown.
During an interaction with the media, he said, "The film is based on several little real life incidents which I witnessed while growing up. I have seen several incidents near my hometown. I have taken several incidents from Telangana and made it as a part of the film."
The Paradise marks Nani and Srikanth Odela's second collaboration. The duo previously worked together on Dasara, which was released in 2023.
The Paradise is set to release across India in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Spanish and English on September 24.
