I'm not afraid of being boxed in: Srinath Maganti
From watching film shoots unfold in Ameerpet as a wide-eyed schoolboy to sharing screen space with , Srinath Maganti has been anything but conventional. A proud Hyderabadi, the actor has gradually made his mark in Telugu cinema, from his breakout in Bilalpur Police Station to the acclaimed Lucky Bhaskar and the high-profile Animal. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a candid chat with Hyderabad Times, Srinath opens up about his acting roots, confronting bias in the industry, and why he's not afraid to be boxed into a type. 'I told my dad I wanted to act; his silence lasted for days' Born and raised in Hyderabad, Srinath's love for cinema began long before he ever stepped onto a film set. 'I've spent most of my life in Ameerpet. This city isn't just where I live, it's home. I still remember watching the rains from the Ameerpet Observatory. It was there that I saw my first film shoot where Srihari sir was on set. The second time, it was Nagarjuna sir during Azad. That's when something clicked.' Though he pursued engineering and went on to start his own manufacturing business, the desire to act never faded. 'Once the business was stable, I told my dad I wanted to act. He just asked, 'YouTube, serials, or cinema?' I said, 'Cinema or nothing.' What followed was three days of silence at home. Eventually, he introduced me to acting coach Satyanand, the same teacher who trained Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, and Ravi Teja, which marked the formal beginning of my journey into cinema,' he recalls. Srinath Maganti 'A 9000-km train journey led me to HIT' Before he entered the HIT universe, Srinath teamed up with director for a short film titled Uniki: a bold, experimental project shot entirely on trains across India. 'We covered 9,000 kilometers in 18 days, from Kanyakumari to Dharamshala. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now We slept on platforms, showered in train bathrooms, and kept moving. I even had a fall in Varanasi and got eight stitches. But it was raw, real, and unforgettable.' That project deepened his creative bond with Sailesh, eventually leading to roles in HIT 1 and HIT 2. 'Back then, it wasn't about money or scale. We just wanted to make something honest. And that journey taught me what it means to truly commit to a role,' he says. Sailesh Kolanu, Srinath Maganti and Nani 'Not every challenge on set is creative' Srinath's entry into 's Animal, where he played the role of 's brother, came as a surprise, even to him. But while the film gave him the opportunity to be part of a pan-India project, his time on set also brought an unexpected moment of tension. 'One of the actors, who played a friend of in the film, seemed to take issue with the prominence of my role. We had just landed in Mumbai, and I'd seen his hoardings all across the city. Maybe that played into it. Out of nowhere, he came up to me and said, 'Tu kaun hai? Same caste as Vanga? Who's your manager?' I didn't realise Sandeep sir was standing behind us. I simply replied, 'Let me do my job,' and walked away. Sandeep sir looked at me and said, 'Good answer.'' Srinath Maganti with Dulquer Salmaan Srinath Maganti: 'DQ sir's dedication during Lucky Bhaskar taught me so much. He'd change outfits four or five times on set without ever stepping into the vanity, no fuss, just focus. That level of professionalism really inspired me' 'Typecasting doesn't scare me. Our industry is shifting. People are getting chances to break out of the boxes. Look at . He began as a background artiste. Or Priyadarshi, who started with comic roles and now headlines films. Anything is possible, and I leave it to the uncertainty' – Divya Shree

Nani's HIT 3 Hit By Plagiarism Row, Madras High Court Sends Legal Notice
Last Updated: Actor Nani's film HIT 3, directed by Sailesh Kalanu, faces copyright infringement allegations by writer Sonia Vimal, who claims it borrows from her unpublished works. Actor Nani's recent release HIT: The Third Case, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, released on May 1. The film is now facing legal trouble over plagiarism claims. The Madras High Court has issued a notice to the film's makers after writer Soniya Vimal alleged that the movie is an unauthorised adaptation of her work. In her petition, Soniya stated that HIT 3 closely resembles her unpublished scripts Agent 11 and Agent V. She claimed to have written the original story and registered it with the South Indian Film Writers' Association on August 4, 2021. According to her, she later sent the synopsis of her script to Nani on August 8, 2022, hoping for a possible collaboration. However, she never received a response. After watching HIT 3 in theatres, Soniya said she was shocked to find that the film's storyline was strikingly similar to her own, with only a few changes made. She also submitted a detailed comparison between her script and the film's plot as part of her legal evidence. The High Court notice stated, 'HIT: The Third Case (HIT 3) was an adaptation of her registered script and to permanently restrain the respondents from assigning any further rights of the movie and from committing any further acts of infringement." Soniya has also sought a share in the profits earned by the movie. She has requested that the makers render accounts of the earnings and pay her 20 per cent as damages and compensation. Additionally, she filed a formal complaint with the South Indian Film Writers' Association, but claims no action has been taken so far. While Soniya has described herself as a fan of Nani, she says her admiration doesn't change the fact that her story was allegedly used without permission. As of now, the makers of HIT 3 have not released an official statement regarding the allegations. HIT: The Third Case (also known as HIT 3) is a 2025 Indian Telugu-language neo-noir action thriller, written and directed by Sailesh Kolanu.
