Nani reveals early plans for 'HIT 4' with Karthi
On the updates front, Nani teased that he is planning something massive with Karthi, who is set to play ACP Veerappan in 'HIT 4'. Though he refrained from revealing too many details since many are yet to watch 'HIT 3', he did share some interesting insights. Addressing the initial skepticism about composer Mickey J. Meyer's selection for a crime thriller, Nani said, 'We deliberately went with a fresh sound instead of picking someone who had worked on similar films before—and it paid off well.' He also hinted that he might team up again with director
Sailesh Kolanu
, possibly for a comedy, though nothing is confirmed yet.
'HIT 3' eyes ₹150 crore milestone
This weekend is crucial for 'HIT 3'. Though new releases like Single and
Shubham
received decent word of mouth, they don't target the mass audience. This gives 'HIT 3' a second wind. With limited options for moviegoers, advance bookings have picked up momentum on booking platforms. Nani, who had been in the U.S. for promotions at the time of release, wasn't available then, but is now sharing the success with fans, hoping the film edges closer to the ₹150 crore milestone by the coming weeks.

Did Hrithik Roshan unfollow Jr NTR amid the dip in War 2's earnings, here's what we know
In the high-stakes world of Bollywood, where box office numbers and social media moves are closely watched, a recent development has left fans buzzing. A subtle change in social media activity involving two major stars has sparked widespread speculation and concern. What is the entire matter? As per reports, Hrithik Roshan has unfollowed his War 2 co-star Jr NTR on social media platforms. This move comes amid the film's underwhelming performance at the box office. Released on August 14, 2025, War-2, a high-budget action thriller directed by Ayan Mukerji, opened with strong numbers, earning Rs 115 crore in just two days. However, the momentum didn't sustain; by the seventh day, the film had crossed the Rs 250 crore mark at domestic box office, experiencing a significant drop in daily collections. Did Hrithik Roshan actually unfollow Jr NTR? Interestingly, while social media buzz suggests tension, the truth is that Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR have never followed each other on social media to begin with. Hrithik follows his War 2 co-star Kiara Advani and the film's director Ayan Mukerji, but not Jr NTR. This detail clarifies that the recent speculation about an 'unfollow' might be unfounded, as there was no social media connection between the two stars in the first place. More about War 2 War 2, released on August 14, 2025, was one of the most anticipated films of the year, positioned as a major addition to Yash Raj Films' expanding Spy Universe. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film brought together two powerhouse stars — Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Kabir, and Jr NTR making his Hindi spy-action debut. Expectations were sky-high, especially after the success of previous Spy Universe films like Tiger 3, Pathaan, Tiger Zinda Hai, and War. However, the film's performance has fallen short of expectations. Add as a Preferred Source Critics and fans pointed to several issues: a predictable plot, underdeveloped character arcs, and poor VFX. While the action sequences were praised, many felt they lacked emotional weight and novelty seen in earlier Spy Universe entries. The Telugu version's underperformance also sparked backlash from Jr NTR's fanbase, forcing producer Naga Vamsi to respond to online trolling. Story Highlights War 2 experienced a strong opening but failed to maintain its box office momentum, surpassing Rs 250 crore in the first week. Hrithik Roshan reportedly unfollowed Jr NTR on social media, leading to fan speculation about their relationship. Despite buzz, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR have never followed each other on social media. The Telugu version of War 2 underperformed, prompting producer Naga Vamsi to respond to online criticism. War 2 had the makings of a blockbuster, but weak execution led to a lukewarm response. It's a wake-up call for the Spy Universe to prioritize strong storytelling over just grand scale.
