Mohan Babu & Babu Mohan Join Nani’s ‘The Paradise’; Surprising Casting Choices Unfold
Director Srikanth Odela, who made an impactful debut with Dasara, is now collaborating once again with Nani for his upcoming ambitious project titled The Paradise. While the film is already generating significant buzz, the casting announcements—or rather, leaks—are creating even more anticipation.
Mohan Babu’s Powerful Role with Grey Shades
Reports have been circulating for weeks that Mohan Babu has been cast in a crucial negative-shaded role in The Paradise. Though there hasn’t been an official announcement, Vishnu Manchu recently confirmed in a media interaction that director Srikanth Odela has indeed approached Mohan Babu for the part. If true, this would mark a powerful comeback in a role that promises to bring intensity and gravitas to the film.
Babu Mohan Confirms His Role in ‘The Paradise’
Meanwhile, veteran comedian Babu Mohan, who has been rediscovering his screen presence in recent years, confirmed his involvement in the project during a recent interview. While he is yet to allot shooting dates, Babu Mohan shared that his character in The Paradise will be a major surprise element, likely to capture public attention.
Babu Mohan was last seen in Keerthy Suresh’s Uppu Kappurambu and has multiple projects lined up, including one that has already wrapped shooting.
Raghav Juyal Joins the Antagonist Squad
Adding further weight to the antagonist lineup is Raghav Juyal (of Kill fame), who is confirmed to play a negative role in the film. With such a diverse and strong cast, The Paradise is shaping up to be a high-stakes drama with intense performances.
