Sampoornesh Babu Reveals His Role In Nani’s Paradise
Tollywood’s ace actor Nani is all set to hit the big screens with The Paradise movie on 24th September, 2026. Well, as the release date is nearing, the makers are currently busy with post-production works. As lead actor Nani and the director Srikanth are spending their complete time in the studio, Meanwhile, prominent actors from the movie, including Sampoornesh Babu, are interacting with the media to create a buzz on social media.
Well, until now, we just witnessed Sampoornesh in a few comedy roles, but in Paradise he is essaying a prominent role and will be seen along with Nani throughout the movie. Even his character name ‘Biryani’ also upped the expectations on his role on this action thriller.
Of late, Sampoornesh doled out many interesting things about the movie and also revealed some details about his character in his recent interview.
“When I was approached, Srikanth clearly told me that it is a serious character. So far, I have done roles and movies set in the comedy space. He asked me if it was fine for me to play a totally contrasting role. I told him I would do the film. I won’t laugh or make others laugh. I play Nani anna’s best friend”.
He also added, “I was often reminded by Srikanth that I am not Sampoornesh Babu but Biryani. It is surely a big task for me to pull off. I blindly trusted the director’s vision. There were many retakes because of me. One scene took over 10 takes on the first day of the shoot. I had constant fear in my mind about doing my job properly.”
So, with these revelations, Sampoornesh has certainly raised curiosity among the audience about his serious role. On the other hand, Paradise is a complete rural drama where Nani as Jadal will fight for his community which is oppressed by Shikanja Malik aka Mohan Babu. Nani as Jadal in this movie will also be seen with two long braids throughout the movie. Even, Bollywood’s young actor Raghav Juyal might be seen as Mohan Babu’s son in this movie.
Paradise is being produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner. It is scheduled to release on 24th September, 2026! Not to forget, Paradise will not have any trailer as the makers and the lead actor Nani clearly mentioned that, they are right now busy with the post-production works and want to deliver the output on 24th September on the big screens.
