Nani has finally addressed the mixed reactions surrounding his latest release The Paradise. While the Srikanth Odela directorial has received love from sections of the audience, the film has also faced criticism and plenty of trolling online. Rather than ignoring the noise, Nani has now opened up about how he has been taking it all in.

Taking to X, the actor revealed that he has been following the reactions closely — including the criticism and the memes. Interestingly, Nani said he actually enjoyed some of the trolling while thanking fans for the affection they have shown towards the film.

“I have seen all your reactions and responses. I’ve received all your love and equally enjoyed your hilarious trolls,” Nani wrote.

The actor also acknowledged the shortcomings pointed out by critics and reviewers, saying that he has taken those observations as something to learn from. He added that he felt “heartwarmed” by the way audiences had embraced the film and made it their own.

Nani further spoke about the hard work that went into creating The Paradise. According to the actor, the team put in tremendous effort to deliver an experience that was different from the usual.

“We have made #TheParadise with a lot of blood and sweat to give you a unique experience, and it’s all yours to celebrate or judge,” he said.

Nani Thanks Fans For Owning The Paradise

Despite the divided reactions, Nani’s post remained focused on gratitude. The actor thanked audiences for the excitement they showed before the release and for the affection they have continued to give him.

“With the excitement you had for the film and the affection you showed on me, I am filled with gratitude,” Nani added.

The response comes shortly after The Paradise arrived in theatres on September 24. The film reunites Nani with director Srikanth Odela after their previous collaboration Dasara. Nani plays Jadal in the action drama, which also features Kayadu Lohar, Mohan Babu, Sonali Kulkarni and Raghav Juyal.

The film had generated considerable buzz ahead of its release, particularly because of the reunion of Nani and Odela. However, following its theatrical debut, reactions have ranged from appreciation for its scale and action to criticism of certain creative and storytelling choices.

The Paradise Opens To Strong Numbers

While social media conversations around the film have been divided, its opening has reportedly been strong. The film recorded a substantial worldwide gross on its first day, adding another interesting layer to the conversation surrounding its reception.

For now, Nani appears to be taking the response in his stride. Instead of getting defensive over criticism, the actor has acknowledged both the love and the flaws pointed out by viewers and reviewers.

With The Paradise now playing in theatres, the coming days will reveal how the film sustains its momentum at the box office.

For Nani, though, the message to his audience is clear — they have watched it, reacted to it, joked about it and debated it and he is grateful that they made the film part of the conversation.
