Nani's upcoming film Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela, is causing controversy after its preview received a mixed response. Known for his family-friendly roles, Nani is shifting to a more mass-oriented image, sparking confusion among fans. The preview, featuring Nani's new look, dialogues, and music by Anirudh, generated both excitement and backlash.

While some praised the visuals and music, others criticized the dialogues, particularly those perceived as offensive towards women. Netizens have voiced their disapproval, especially with International Women’s Day approaching, questioning the need for such content. Fans are also suggesting that Nani should have consulted family members before releasing the preview.

Despite the controversy, Nani is known for his positive family-hero image, and after starring in the mass-action Dussehra, he continues to pursue similar roles with films like Hi Nanna and Badada Sabarimala. Now, he is embracing mass masala films like Paradise, leading to mixed reactions from his audience.
