Telugu actor Nani to undergo intense body transformation for The Paradise, deets inside

Nani had always believed that physical transformations weren’t essential for his craft, but director Srikanth Odela convinced him to take on the challenge.

Ever since its announcement, The Paradise, featuring Natural Star Nani, has been creating a buzz among fans. Directed by Srikanth Odela, who previously impressed audiences with Dasara, the film has piqued curiosity for multiple reasons. However, what’s truly surprising is Nani’s drastic body transformation—something he has never attempted before in his career.

Nani had always believed that physical transformations weren’t essential for his craft, but director Srikanth Odela convinced him to take on the challenge. Fully committed to the role, the actor is now intensely focused on building muscle.

In a recent interview, Nani shared insights into his transformation journey, revealing how this process has pushed him beyond his comfort zone, making The Paradise an even more special project for him. He said, "It's kind of an energy is trying to crack. And a very sensible guy, with a very original vision and gives in everything once he decides on he wants something and then he's behind it. Now even the whole me working out and stuff I never thought it's not it's needed in my career a lot of people used to ask me like oh when will you go. you know work out and do body transformation and stuff like that like it's needed no okay is it convincing on screen no this guy pushed me to he said no no I want it."

He further added, "Okay so I feel we need these boys around and who will actually see a lot more you of potential and things in you and push you to do something So I think uh at this point of time it's just the guy who I needed and he came up with something absolutely crazy We're starting shoot soon."

Natural Star Nani is currently riding high on success, with back-to-back hits like Dasara, Hi Nanna, and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, all of which have been both critically acclaimed and well-received by audiences. His impressive streak at the box office has further solidified his position as one of Telugu cinema’s most bankable stars.
