Natural Star Nani is all set to create a box-office storm with his pan-India period action extravaganza The Paradise, which is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on the 24th of this month.
Prathyangira Cinemas is bringing the film to audiences in North America, with bookings for the region opening today.
The North America hunt for The Paradise has begun on a strong note, with the Srikanth Odela directorial already crossing the $100K mark from Cinemark alone.
Remarkably, the film achieved this milestone within just four hours of bookings opening, making it the fastest film to reach the mark.
The impressive pace of bookings is a strong indication of the buzz, anticipation and craze surrounding The Paradise.
Overseas has traditionally been one of Nani’s strongest markets, with the actor already having 10 films that crossed the $1 million mark. The early response suggests that The Paradise could deliver a career-best opening for him in North America.
With nearly two weeks still to go before its theatrical release, trade circles expect the film to set several new records.
The Paradise will have its North America premieres on the 23rd, a day ahead of its worldwide theatrical release.
The glimpse, teaser and two songs released so far have significantly increased the excitement around the project.
The unique world created by director Srikanth Odela, combined with Nani’s intense makeover and the film’s grand scale, has generated strong hype.
The Paradise is also expected to open strongly in the domestic market.
