In a conversation with ANI, Rao stressed the significance of being around people with the right energy and mindset, which can help young actors navigate the industry.

He added that there are 'amazing', and as well as 'bad' people, however, he asserted that this exists everywhere. 'I think surround yourself with right people. With right energy. And then keep working. Focus on your work and nothing else. Nothing else is more important than your work. So I would say just put all your energy into your work,' shared the 'Monica, O My Darling' actor. 'I have met some really amazing people and I have met some really average people. And maybe some bad people. But that happens everywhere. That's there in every industry, not only Bollywood. I think it's all very each to his own.'

He said that there is no set formula for achieving success in the industry, and each person's journey is unique. 'Some people can get instant success. Some people take time. So each to his own. There is no formula on how to face it. I think you have to be yourself. You have to know your truth first of all. What you are, it's very important to know that. What are the shortcomings in you, it's very important to know that. What are the good things in you, it's very important to know that. It's very important to work on that,' he said. Meanwhile, RajKummar Rao is gearing up for the release of his film 'Bhool Chuk Maaf. It also stars Wamiqa Gabbi. 'It has a very fresh and unique concept of a time loop.

There is Wamiqa, there are very good actors. So, I think there are a lot of reasons to say yes to this film.' Wamiqa added, 'I think in the first narration, we were so happy. I was laughing throughout the narration. So, I thought, this is so funny on paper. So, it will be so much fun to make and it will be such a good film. And when I obviously got to know that RajKummar Rao is there in the film. And the whole cast is so interesting. So, I was really excited.'

It was very, very different for me, the whole experience of playing Maalik and shooting for the film. Because it's the first time that I am, pouring into this action genre, which is also very raw in nature. I think every, every beat of that character, of that script, whatever has happened in the film, is so different from whatever I have done till date. Well, I hope Bhool Chuk Maaf becomes that milestone in my career.'

Nani On A HIT -Verse Crossover With RajKummar Rao: "He Is A Brilliant Actor, Possibilities Are Huge"
New Delhi: HIT: The Third Case which is the third instalment in the hit franchise will be led by Nani, who plays the role of Arjun Sarkaar. Nani will be essaying the role of a criminal. He was introduced at the end of HIT: The Second Case in a cameo appearance. HIT: The First Case had Vishwak Sen in the Telugu film, and RajKummar Rao in the Hindi remake, while HIT: The Second Case was led by Adivi Sesh in Telugu. Recently in conversation with News18 Showsha, Nani was asked to share his thoughts on the Hindi remake and RajKummar Rao's performance in it. Nani said, "I haven't seen the Hindi version of HIT yet. It was produced by Dil Raju Garu. He took the rights from me. RajKummar is a brilliant actor. I've watched a lot of his films and I was extremely confident that they would make a much superior product than us. I didn't get to watch it but I've heard a lot of praise about the film, especially after it was released on OTT. I've heard such good things about his performance in it." What's interesting to note here is that Nani who loves RajKummar Rao's work, is interested in bringing him in the original HIT verse helmed by Shailesh Kolanu. This led to fans expecting a HIT -verse crossover, between Nani and RajKummar's characters which are Vikram Jaisingh and Arjun Sarkaar respectively. Nani revealed, "I hope that in the future, we can bring back RajKummar into the HIT universe. Yes, there should be a crossover. We've plans of making HIT that's set in Karnataka. The possibilities in this universe are huge." Nani concluded by saying that the initial plan was never to have a HIT universe. The makers were focused on making a sequel where the happenings of the first case would be carried on. However, when the script of HIT: The Second Case was done, it appeared to be a standalone film, and that is how the idea of a HIT -verse came to fruition. He added that the planning then moved to focusing on different cases for each part and bringing together varied cops from every state. Nani's film HIT: The Third Case will be releasing in theatres on May 1, 2025.
