In The Paradise, Mohan Babu plays a dangerous villain named Shikhanja Malik. The first look of his character created a huge buzz. His rugged appearance holding a gun and walking with confidence impressed fans and movie lovers. This role is expected to be one of the highlights of the film.

The biggest talking point is Mohan Babu's salary for this movie. Reports say that he is being paid nearly 5 crore rupees for The Paradise. This is the highest remuneration he has ever received in his entire career.

Even during his peak as a hero he never earned this much. The film budget is also said to be around two hundred crore rupees which makes it the biggest budget film in Nani's career so far.
