Srikanth Odela, who is directing the Nani-starrer The Paradise, has penned an emotional post of gratitude to his film's lead actor Nani on the occasion of the latter's birthday.
 
Taking to his X timeline to pen the post of gratitude, Srikanth Odela said, "Nuvvu "Ni istam Srikanth" ani anna prathisari I hear "I trust you Srikanth" (Every time you say, 'It is your wish Srikanth', I hear 'I trust you Srikanth'). And that trust scares me, every single second to give my blood and soul to The Paradise."

The director then went on to admit, "I broke your every rule of cinema. I broke your working days pattern. I broke your release date streak. I broke your working style. I almost broke every rule of you 'making of cinema'. Each time I broke you, you built me anna. You built me in a way that everything I have today is because of you. Nuv namminatha nannu evaru nammaledu anna (Nobody else has trusted me to the level you have trusted me)."
