Telugu actor Nani revealed his upcoming film Bloody Romeo on his birthday, sharing an animated promo that highlights a chef-gangster role. Directed by Sujeeth, the project promises a mix of action, comedy, and emotion. Production is set to begin in summer 2026.
On February 24, 2026, Nani marked his birthday by announcing his next film, Bloody Romeo, directed by Sujeeth. The reveal came via an animated promo shared on social media, featuring voice-over by Vennela Kishore. The video introduces Nani's character as a blend of compassion, anger, and terror, depicted cooking with flair before descending into chaotic action, including placing a grenade on a cooker whistle.
Nani captioned the promo: “Little bit of action Little bit of fun Little bit of madness And a whole lot of love :)”. The teaser suggests a gangster love story with elements of love, action, and emotion, centered on an Indian gangster disguised as a chef. This premise leads to an entertaining narrative filled with violence, dark comedy, and stylized filmmaking. The film's song, No. 1 Gangsta, was written and produced by Pravin Veyra and sung by Kayo Drip.
Sujeeth, known for stylized visuals and unique promotions, has described the film as having a comedic twist and being a pan-Indian project. Earlier comments indicated it would resemble his film Run Raja Run, though the promo points to a gangster setting similar to his recent works. Production is slated to start in summer 2026, with further cast and crew details expected soon.
Fans reacted enthusiastically, with comments like “This Romeo cooked hard 🔥” and “Eagerly waiting for gangster universe 🔥Saaho*OG*BloddyRomeo.” Another noted, “When Quality Collaborates with Quality 🙇🏻.”
Alongside Bloody Romeo, Nani has The Paradise in development, directed by Srikanth Odela. A promo for its first single, Aaya Sher, composed by Anirudh, has generated buzz, featuring lyrics like “Pottu Pottu Akalundi...Mettu Mettu Ekkuta.” Nani's recent hit, The Third Case, underscores his shift toward mass-appeal roles.
Reports vary on Nani's age for this birthday, with some sources citing 41 and others 42.
