Srikanth Odela and Nani ’s second film together, The Paradise, hit screens on Thursday with paid premieres on Wednesday. Acknowledging the feedback in a new note on Friday, Nani says that he ‘enjoyed’ the love and trolling alike since its release.

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. With the excitement you had for the film and the affection you showed on me, I am filled with gratitude. Nani,” read his note. Given that the film is still in its second day and has a weekend ahead, many were shocked to see Nani acknowledge the criticism so soon. “That’s a graceful response Nani garu. But you should have waited till the weekend, atleast. You all worked as a team, and now for your own credibility, putting the producers in a difficult position doesn’t feel right,” read another. Several others thought it was ‘graceful’ of Nani to acknowledge that The Paradise didn’t work as intended, instead of celebrating its stellar opening. Others wanted him to make family-friendly movies like Hi Nanna, Ante Sundaraniki and Gang Leader. “Bro, whatever happened has happened. But next time, please question the director when a scene makes no sense, starting with the opening scene,” read one comment.
“This tweet should have ‘waited’ at least until the end of Sunday, Nani Garu,” read one comment. “Don’t worry anna comeback gattiga ivvu (Don’t worry brother, give a good comeback),” commented a hopeful fan.
