RAGHAV JUYAL FIRST LOOK: After waiting too long, here is Raghav Juyal’s first look for The Paradise, and it seems he’s entering uncharted territory. In the role of Vikram Maalik, Raghav looks fierce and intense, and is totally different from his previous characterisations.  With Natural Star Nani in the lead, The Paradise is already making quite a stir since its announcement. After the success of Dasara, the film is one of the most awaited Telugu films of this year, reuniting director Srikanth Odela with Nani. Just before the reveal, the producers teased a big announcement, and they did not disappoint with a bombshell introduction of Vikram Maalik.

The character reveal video showcases Raghav in a rugged and larger than life avatar, that exudes attitude and raw energy. His electrifying music and performance ability has his presence on screen noticed from the moment he steps on the frame and with occasional appearances with Nani, there is a possibility of some fierce competition in the Jadal Zamana world.

The Paradise was originally scheduled to be released in March 2026, which is approximately a week after Dhurandhar: Part 2. But Nani and the director Srikanth Odela had told that The Paradise is now getting a new release date. In a Facebook post, Srikanth says, “I don’t want to rush. I need some time to deliver it.”
