Nani has opened up about his choice of films and revealed that his mother is not particularly happy with him doing violent and action-heavy projects.
Speaking about his approach, the actor said he is not interested in being defined by star tags or box-office labels. According to Nani, his bigger goal is to build a filmography that he can proudly show his children and Telugu audiences in the future.
He believes The Paradise represents the kind of distinctive and ambitious cinema he wants to be associated with. Nani admitted that his mother does not like seeing him in violent films, but he is willing to take such risks when the story and character excite him.
The actor feels The Paradise offers a different experience and marks another interesting step in his career. The film is directed by Srikanth Odela and has Kayadu Lohar as the female lead.
