Director Sailesh Kolanu made a strong impression with his debut film HIT: The 1st Case, featuring Vishwak Sen in the lead. The film quietly became a sleeper hit, laying the foundation for what would evolve into a gripping investigative franchise.
The second installment, HIT: The 2nd Case, saw Adivi Sesh step into the lead role, and the film turned out to be an even bigger success—both commercially and critically.
Interestingly, the film also featured a surprise cameo by Nani, who is not just a star presence but also the producer behind the HIT franchise.
Nani’s appearance wasn’t initially part of the script. Director Sailesh Kolanu, seeking to end the film on a high note, conceptualized a powerful climax that needed an impactful presence.
Nani agreed to step in, and his brief yet intense portrayal of Arjun Sarkaar left a lasting impression on the audience. That moment raised anticipation sky-high for HIT: The 3rd Case.
Now, with HIT: The 3rd Case set to release on May 1st, Nani takes center stage as the lead, making his full-fledged entry into the franchise not just as a producer, but also as the main protagonist. His star power and mass appeal are expected to be a major draw for audiences.
Fully aware of Nani’s massive fanbase and his consistent blockbuster streak, director Sailesh Kolanu has crafted a character-driven narrative that blends high-impact heroism with grounded storytelling.
While the film includes elevated moments tailored to Nani’s screen presence, they are balanced perfectly with the depth of his character and the demands of the story.
Promos reveal that Nani’s role in this chapter is layered, hinting at a character with multiple shades—adding emotional and psychological complexity to the crime thriller.
Like the previous entries, HIT 3 features a compelling love story and the unraveling of a new, challenging investigation.
But with Nani leading the charge, the film promises next-level storytelling that aims to push the boundaries of the genre.
With an actor of Nani’s caliber stepping into the limelight, HIT: The 3rd Case is all set to be the most ambitious and star-powered installment in the franchise yet.
