A Special Birthday Note From Srikanth Odela To Nani

Nani always supports young directors and gives them full freedom, even in their debut films. One such director is Srikanth Odela.

On Nani’s birthday, Srikanth shared an emotional note about their bond. From Dasara to their upcoming film The Paradise, he said Nani’s words “Ni istam Srikanth” show complete trust.

That trust also brings big responsibility.

Srikanth revealed he even changed Nani’s usual working style and look for roles, but Nani always agreed. He said he pushes Nani with many retakes to get perfect scenes.

The film’s music is by Anirudh and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri. Actors Mohan Babu, Raghav Juyal and Sampoornesh Babu play key roles. The film releases on August 21st.

Nani Anna,

Nuvvu “Ni istam Srikanth” ani anna prathisari I hear “I trust you Srikanth”

And that trust scares me, every single second to give my blood and soul to The Paradise.

I broke your every rule of cinema.

I broke your working days pattern…

I broke your release date… pic.twitter.com/p7Z1pFKrx8
