Kayadu Lohar Joins Nani in Bold Role for Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise
After creating a mass impact with Dasara, Nani and director Srikanth Odela are reuniting for their next intense drama titled The Paradise — and it’s already turning heads. The film, produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri, is being touted as the next sensational project in Telugu cinema.
In a big casting development, Kayadu Lohar has officially joined the film as the female lead. Known for her recent success with Dragon, Kayadu takes on a bold and challenging role in The Paradise, reportedly playing a sex worker—a character that many other actresses were hesitant to take up due to the demands for skin show and intimate sequences.
Despite the character’s intensity and boldness, Kayadu was impressed with the script and has already begun shooting, say sources.
Fans began speculating heavily after Nani’s rugged braided look was unveiled recently, and now, Kayadu’s inclusion has raised even more curiosity about the film’s plot and character arcs.
Adding further depth to the story, a renowned Marathi actress is said to play Nani’s mother, while Raghav Juyal, Mohan Babu, and Babu Mohan will appear in pivotal roles. The film’s music is being composed by Anirudh Ravichander, with cinematography by Sai of Amaran fame.
