According to an independent industry source, “For the film, The makers built a massive set spread across acres of land. For the location alone, they had to scout for months, as no studio had land large enough to accommodate such an extensive set. In fact, they wanted the slums to look as real and organic as possible. To achieve this, the makers hired experts and had them visit various slums across India to understand the environment and its nuances.”
The source further added, “The centrepiece of the entire set is an arch, which also serves as the home of the protagonist. The entire sprawling slum settlement has been built around this arch.” This indeed speaks volumes about the massive scale on which the makers have approached the film.
With the presence of Natural Star Nani, ‘Aaya Sher’ has already become a global phenomenon. The song is dominating the charts and trends worldwide. Fans are actively recreating Nani’s electrifying hook step, with reels and edits flooding social media feeds.
Produced by SLV Cinemas, The Paradise is slated for a massive theatrical release on August 21, 2026, in eight languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, English, Spanish, Bengali, Kannada, and Malayalam. In a move that underlines the film’s global ambitions, the makers have reportedly approached Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds to present The Paradise across international markets. With its visionary director, powerhouse cast, and global scale, The Paradise is not just a film; it’s a cultural phenomenon in the making, fueling anticipation among fans eagerly awaiting.
