Natural Star Nani continues his streak of blockbusters with the sensational success of HIT: The 3rd Case. Having recently returned from promoting the film in the USA, Nani joined the team at a celebratory success event held today.
Adivi Sesh shared a heartfelt anecdote, recalling his conversation with Nani about whether it was appropriate to celebrate the film’s success given the current abnormal situations in the country. Sesh praised Nani’s thoughtful response and also expressed his gratitude to the Indian Army for ensuring peace and normalcy in daily life.
“I thank Nani for his meaningful message about celebrating this success,” said Sesh. “Although my role spans just 20 minutes, I thoroughly enjoyed working on the film. Audiences embraced both Mrudula and Arjun Sarkaar. The on-screen badassery of Nani as Arjun Sarkaar was exceptional. I’m thrilled by the overwhelming reception.”
Nani also acknowledged the current circumstances and extended his thanks to the Indian government and armed forces for their efforts in safeguarding the nation. Reflecting on the film’s performance, he said, “I always believed HIT 3 would be a hit, but it exceeded all my expectations. It’s heartening to see a crime thriller being celebrated like a commercial mass entertainer.”
Praising director Sailesh Kolanu’s comic sensibility, Nani hinted at future collaborations: “Aside from the HIT franchise, Sailesh and I will be doing a comedy film together.”
Speaking warmly of his co-star, Nani added, “Sesh and I share a genuine bond of love and mutual admiration. Our connection grew stronger during HIT 2, and it’s always a great feeling to see him on set during HIT 3. Karthi was excellent as ACP Veerappan—we plan to create something extraordinary with him. Srinidhi is a genuine soul; she performed her stunts without a body double, which is commendable.”
Nani highlighted the successes of Court and HIT 3, calling 2025 a memorable year. “I’ll aim to make 2026 even more impactful,” he promised.
HIT: The 3rd Case entered the profit zone within its first weekend and continues its successful theatrical run.
