Nani is gearing up for his next action drama, Hit 3. The film will also star Srinidhi Shetty, Surya Srinivas, Adil Pala, Rao Ramesh, Adarsh Balakrishna, Ravi Mariya and Maganti Srinath in prominent roles. As it gears up for May 1 release, the actor dropped new look poster which has instantly gone viral.
In the poster, Nani is looking intense and fierce. '7 #HIT3 #HIT3FromMay1st," reads the caption. HIT: The First Case (2020) and HIT: The Second Case (2022) featured Adivi Sesh and Vishwak Sen in the lead roles, respectively and garnered positive responses from fans and critics alike. Directed by Sailesh Kolanu, the film is set in Vizag and promises a darker, more intense crime thriller than its predecessors.
In a recent interview, Nani opened up about his role as Arjun Sarkar, an angry, fearless cop, revealing that the character was initially envisioned as a cameo in HIT 2 but was later expanded into a full-fledged lead for the third installment. Fans are eagerly waiting to witness Nani in this never-seen-before avatar.
In a conversation with Great Andhra, the actor said, 'To be honest, the HIT 3 story wasn't finished while we were working on HIT 2. Director Sailesh requested whether we could include a high point in the climax, either starring me or another actor in a cameo. As we were creating the HIT universe, it felt like an excellent opportunity to have another actor make an appearance."
The actor further added that, as a producer, he felt responsible for the production and decided to perform the cameo role of Arjun Sarkar himself. Despite not planning a third part because of his lineup, Nani was able to fit the film into his schedule when a seven-month gap opened up due to delays in another project. 'Sailesh had been telling me that he had a narrative point, and I loved what I heard. So we started working on it," he explained.
Recently, the makers unveiled the film's official trailer, which received massive responses from the audience. However, fans were quick to draw comparisons between HIT 3 and other recent violent films, including Ranbir Kapoor's Animal and Unni Mukundan's Marco.
