The Paradise director Srikanth Odela has confirmed reports that he and Nani did have heated exchanges while working on the film, but made it clear that their relationship goes far beyond what happens on a film set. Speaking at the film’s Media Mulakat, the director described his bond with Nani as something closer to brotherhood.
Srikanth acknowledged that there were intense moments between them during the making of The Paradise. However, he said such incidents should not be viewed beyond the context of the work. Nani was the person who brought him into the industry and gave him this career, and their relationship has grown much deeper through their journey together.
He further said that whatever happens between them on the sets does not affect their bond outside the film. According to Srikanth, they are brothers and will continue to remain so, regardless of the arguments or disagreements that may happen while making a film. He further thanked Kayadu Lohar for accepting such a bold character.
The director had earlier spoken about how the working relationship between him and Nani had evolved beyond the conventional actor-director equation. At the Media Mulakat, he once again made it clear that he cannot speak about Nani simply as an actor because their relationship has become much more personal.
The Paradise demanded an intense working process, with the team shooting through difficult conditions involving mud, rain and harsh sunlight. Nani had also revealed that the team often stayed on the sets without moving to their caravans to ensure the mood of the shoot was not disturbed. Srikanth’s comments now provide context to the reports of differences between the two, while also making it clear that their bond remains intact.
