Nani’s work front
Nani was last seen in director Sailesh Kolanu’s action crime drama HIT: The Third Case. It marked the third installment in the HIT Cinematic Universe, following the films led by Vishwak Sen and Adivi Sesh. With Srinidhi Shetty as the female lead, the film ended with a post-credit scene setting up a fourth installment featuring Karthi.
Looking ahead, the actor will next appear in The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela. The film features the Natural Star in a violent avatar, reportedly portraying a fierce leader of an underprivileged community fighting for citizenship and challenging systemic oppression.
Apart from Nani, the film also stars Raghav Juyal, Mohan Babu, Tanikella Bharani, Sonali Kulkarni, Sampoornesh Babu, and Eeshwari Rao in key roles.
Earlier, the film was scheduled to release on March 26, 2026. However, due to pending work, it was postponed to August 21, 2026. Recently, the makers also released the first single, Aaya Sher, composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
