Natural Star Nani, who is one of the most consistent and bankable Telugu stars, is all set to keep his winning streak going with a series of ambitious and diverse films. With his next movie HIT 3 hitting the screens on May 1st, Nani is now busy with pan-India promotions for the film. In a recent Bollywood media interaction, the actor not only talked about HIT 3 but also revealed the beans about his thrilling future projects — confirming that he has committed projects with Karthik Subbaraj, Sekhar Kammula, and Cibi Chakravarthy.
This news has set fans in a tizzy as each of these directors has a distinct narrative style, and the pairing with Nani ensures something new and unexpected in every movie.
HIT 3 Sets the Stage for a National Presence
Nani’s next release, HIT 3, is already making waves throughout the country. A multi-language release is planned for this film, which is another leap towards Nani’s move from regional stardom to pan-Indian stardom. The actor, who is renowned for his effortless acting and balancing act of commercial and content-driven cinema, is looking to expand his fan base with this crime thriller.
The actor has left no stone unturned during the promotions. From appearing on national talk shows to giving interviews across different languages, Nani’s intent to take HIT 3 to a broader market is crystal clear. As the film heads toward its theatrical release, Nani’s fans are equally thrilled about what lies ahead after HIT 3.
The Paradise Begins from May 2
Among the most eagerly awaited of his forthcoming movies is The Paradise, which is being directed by Srikanth Odela of Dasara reputation. The glimpse of the movie, which was released a few weeks back, generated a buzz on social media for its high-octane visuals and emotional undercurrent. Nani has confirmed that the shoot will start on May 2, and he will reach the sets by mid-May after finishing promotions for HIT 3.
What is even more remarkable about this project is the revealed release date — March 26, 2026, an unusual step in Telugu cinema where planning is typically long-term for gigantic pan-India movies. It indicates how much faith the makers have in the movie’s scale and reach. The Paradise is an emotional drama that delves into a culturally ingrained but universally appealing narrative.
A Postponed But Potential Film with Sujeeth
After The Paradise, Nani will team up with Sujeeth, the man behind Run Raja Run and Saaho. What is interesting here is that this association was originally supposed to take place much sooner, but Sujeeth had to delay plans because of his existing commitments, mostly Pawan Kalyan’s OG, which too has had its fair share of delays.
And now, with Sujeeth’s schedule finally coalescing, the Nani film is expected to begin work once The Paradise goes into post-production. The title and genre remain a closely guarded secret, but sources tell us that the film will balance stylish action and a gripping emotional core, something both Nani and Sujeeth are eminently capable of providing.
Big Talks with Big Names: Karthik Subbaraj and Sekhar Kammula
Perhaps the most exciting part of Nani’s reveal during the HIT 3 promotional tour was his statement that future collaborations with filmmakers Karthik Subbaraj and Sekhar Kammula have been locked in principle. Both directors are known for their storytelling brilliance, and their collaboration with Nani opens the door for genre-bending cinema.
Karthik Subbaraj, a king at spinning grim thrillers through innovative methods (Jigarthanda, Mahaan), might show us Nani in a never-before-seen incarnation. Their film will most likely venture into darker themes or storylines that follow characters, which Nani has always handled with elan.
While that happens, Sekhar Kammula, who has been making emotionally engaging and socially conscious films (Fidaa, Love Story), could cast Nani in a soulful romance or family drama, providing a contrast to his other high-octane ventures. Their association is likely to start after 2025, after Sekhar completes his current commitments.
Rumors Confirmed: Cibi Chakravarthy in the Pipeline
There had been many rumors that Cibi Chakravarthy, the director of Don, had approached Nani with a script. The actor, not confirming the timeline, admitted that talks are on with Cibi too. This must mean that Nani is leaving his 2026 and 2027 calendar open for commercially successful and creatively satisfying collaborations.
What makes Nani different from most of his peers is his bold script selection. He keeps reinventing himself and has no qualms about working with new directors or trying out off-beat tales. By collaborating with directors such as Subbaraj, Kammula, Sujeeth, and Chakravarthy, he’s creating a fearless path that guarantees quality cinema for the future.

A Star with a Strategy
In a business that is frequently ruled by commercial formulas, Nani still demonstrates that storytelling and content can go hand-in-hand with mass appeal. His thoughtfully curated slate of films — ranging from thrillers and dramas to experimental scripts — indicates his strategic vision and creative appetite.
While waiting for HIT 3, the fans have a lot more to look forward to in the coming years as well. With Sujeeth’s action drama The Paradise, and upcoming associations with Karthik Subbaraj, Sekhar Kammula, and Cibi Chakravarthy, Nani is shaping up a future that’s not only starry — it’s also rich cinematically.
Natural Star Nani’s slate proves one thing loud and clear: he is here to stay, lead, and redefine Telugu cinema, one bold film at a time.
