Raghav Juyal On Making South Debut With The Paradise: 'Nani Is A Natural Star'

Raghav Juyal is all set to make waves in the South with his Telugu debut in The Paradise, starring none other than South superstar Nani. After back-to-back hits in Bollywood and OTT, the actor is now stepping

into new territory and fans couldn’t be more excited. The action drama, directed by Srikanth Odela, is slated to hit theatres in March 2026 across multiple languages.

Juyal described working with Srikanth Odela as an exhilarating experience. “Whoever has watched his previous film, Dasara [2023], would know that his vision is impeccable. What he is doing with this film is also so thrilling to experience. The announcement of the film itself was crazy, now wait for my look. You will love it,” he said according to Mid-Day.

The actor expressed his excitement about joining the Telugu film industry alongside one of its biggest stars.

Sharing his admiration for his co-star, Juyal said, “It’s a treat to work with the natural star! He is amazing. And this is not just in Telugu, but it’s a pan-world film. It’s being made in Spanish and English as well.” Juyal will be seen in a pivotal antagonist role, adding a new dimension to the narrative.

Juyal began shooting for The Paradise some time ago but temporarily paused to complete the promotional activities for his latest project, The Ba**ds of Bollywood, which is currently streaming on Netflix. He is set to resume filming next week in Hyderabad, where he will reunite with Nani on set.
