Nani hints at big plans with Karthi in 'HIT 4'; shares exciting details at 'Hit 3' success meet
' HIT 3 : The Third Case' has crossed the ₹100 crore gross mark within its first week and has confidently entered its second week. While the tense atmosphere at the Indo-Pak border has prompted most film celebrities to avoid public events, Natural Star Nani made a bold move by hosting a success meet today. Sharing his intent behind the celebration, Nani revealed that the event was thoughtfully organised after discussions with his team.

Just because of a hostile nation, we shouldn't hold back from celebrating an Indian film's success,' he explained. 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.

The film is the third instalment in his HIT (Homicide Intervention Team) franchise and sees SP Arjun Sarkaar (Nani) solve a series of murders. The film ends by officially announcing HIT: The Fourth Case with a special cameo. Know all about the actor and character taking over the franchise. (Also Read: HIT The Third Case movie review: Blood-soaked Nani steals the show in this gory fest that could've been better) After Arjun wraps up what he started in HIT 3 in a neat, if bloody, bow, Sailesh sets things up for HIT 4. Tamil actor Karthi is officially introduced as ACP Veerappan at the end of the film, making him the first non-Telugu actor to lead the franchise. But, in a meta scene, Veerappan assures everyone that he's bilingual, just in case people thought he didn't know Telugu. Unlike Arjun's introduction at the end of HIT 2 as an unlikeable cop, Karthi's Veerappan seems as jolly as they come. And at the end of HIT 3, it looks like he already has a murder mystery to solve in HIT 4. HIT 4 will not be the first time Karthi plays a cop. He played the memorable DSP Rathnavel Pandian in Siruthai (2011), a remake of the Telugu film Vikramarkudu (2006). And then there was Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru (2017), in which he played DSP Theeran Thirumaran, a cop who performs the thankless job of hunting down killers. In Sardar (2022), he played Inspector Vijay Prakash, who is obsessed with rebuilding his tarnished image after his father, a former RAW agent, is branded a national traitor. He will reprise the role for Sardar 2, which he is shooting for now. Sailesh's HIT franchise began with HIT: The First Case (2020), which saw Vishwak Sen play Vikram Rudraraju, a cop suffering from PTSD due to past trauma. He followed that up with HIT: The Second Case (2022), headlined by Adivi Sesh's Krishna Dev, aka KD, who catches a serial killer murdering girls. In the recently released HIT: The Third Case (2025), Nani plays Arjun Sarkaar, who goes undercover to solve a series of murders following the same modus operandi across the country. It remains to be seen when HIT: The Fourth Case will go on floors and release.
