Nani's 'The Paradise' song 'Aaya Sher' dominates charts

Aaya Sher, the first song from the Telugu pan-Indian movie ‘The Paradise’ starring Nani in the lead role, is trending globally. The song has topped YouTube’s music chart in nine countries. ‘The Paradise,’ directed by Srikant Odela will have a worldwide release on August 21, 2026. Nani and Srikant Odela will be reuniting in ‘The Paradise’ after the blockbuster movie ‘Dussehra.’ Interestingly, Sudhakar Cherukuri, who had produced Dussehra, is producing this movie for the banner of Sreelakshmi Venkateshwara Cinemas.

The song, released on Nani’s birthday, quickly went viral, amassing over 15 million views within just 24 hours on YouTube. Titled Aaya Sher, the track has not only claimed the top spot on music charts in India and the UAE but has also made waves in countries like the UK, Australia, Singapore, Canada, Saudi Arabia, the USA, and New Zealand. It’s a rare achievement for a Telugu song to garner such global attention in such a short span.

Nani’s commanding screen presence and an iconic hook step are the standout features of Aaya Sher, a song with an irresistibly catchy tune. His electrifying dance moves, paired with the song’s pulsating beats, have already gone viral across Instagram and YouTube Shorts. The track also serves as the introduction to Nani’s character in the film. The lyrics, penned by Karsala Syam, perfectly complement Anirudh Ravichandran’s brilliant composition. The song is brought to life by Aknoori Devayya, Addula Jangi Reddi, and Anirudh himself. Aaya Sher marks a reunion between Nani and Anirudh, following the success of Jersey and Gang Leader. Choreographed by Sudhan Master, known for his work in Jana Nayagan with Vijay, the viral hook steps have added an extra layer of energy to the song."
