Nani and Shiva Nirvana are circling a third collaboration — but it’s not official yet. The news, first reported by Telugu360, comes as the actor wraps up work on The Paradise, which has reportedly crossed ₹100 crore in just three days. Trade sources are split on the exact figure, but the momentum is undeniable. Now, with Bloody Romeo set to begin shooting soon under Sujeeth’s direction, Nani’s next move is under scrutiny. Enter Shiva Nirvana, whose last film with Nani, Tuck Jagadish. Divided audiences. But after the emotional resonance of Irumudi and the commercial lift of Majili, his name carries weight again. He’s reportedly penned an “emotional entertainer” for Nani, with Sahu Garapati’s Shine Screens in talks to produce. Sithara Entertainments is also in the mix if the project shifts gears. No script details, no release window, no confirmed cast beyond Nani. Just whispers. And a lot of anticipation. The third time might be the charm, or it might just be another early-stage rumour. What’s certain? Nani isn’t resting. The break is over. The next phase begins soon.
