First look of Nani from Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise out.
Just when you think Nani has experimented enough, he comes out with something as riveting as The Paradise! The first glimpse of his upcoming film with Srikanth Odela is out and it is safe to say that this time, Nani takes his experimentation to another level.
The promo titled ‘Raw Statement’ starts with a grim atmosphere. It opens with a disclaimer – raw truth, raw language, setting the tone for what’s to come. A powerful voiceover takes the audience inside the core story: “In history, everyone has written about parrots and pigeons, but no one has ever written about crows, born of the same species. This is the story of those crows whose stomachs burned with hunger.”
It further says, “The cries of the corpses that have been walking for ages… A tale of a community raised on blood, not milk, from their mother’s breast… A spark ignited that filled the entire community with enthusiasm. Crows who had once been belittled now held swords in their hands. This is the story of a rebellious young man who united those crows… The story of that young man becoming a leader.” Crows symbolising an anguished community of people.
As the weight of the voiceover continues, you will be further taken into Nani’s world with opening shots of slums littered with dead bodies and crows ominously flying above. Soon after, Nani gets his entry with a massive explosion. His rugged look, a watch strapped to his shoes and sleek braids on either sides of his head makes you wonder what’s coming. And before you know, the actor pulls out a country-side gun from the water with the whole focus on the tattoo on his forearm.
His face remains hidden the whole with his body language convey the intensity of the character. His belt shining bright with the word ‘hero’ embedded on it, symbolising his role as the leader of his people. Watch it here:
From a technical standpoint, the cinematography of The Paradise Cinematographer is delivered by GK Vishnu. Anirudh Ravichander composed the electrifying score of the film.
