According to a press note shared by the filmmakers, Srinidhi’s role in the film will have ‘good prominence’. She is shooting for HIT 3 right now with Nani in Vizag where scenes featuring both of them are being shot. Recently, the producers of HIT 3 also released an announcement video that gave a glimpse of Nani’s role in the film as police officer Arjun Sarkaar.
The third instalment of Sailesh’s successful HIT series is produced by Nani’s sister, Prashanti Tipirneni of Wall Poster Cinema in association with Unanimous Productions. HIT: The First Case was released in 2020 and saw Vishwak Sen play a troubled police officer called Vikram Rudraraju. HIT: The Second Case was released in 2022 and saw Adivi Sesh as Krishna Dev aka KD. Nani’s character Arjun was introduced at the end of HIT 2.
Sanu John Varghese handles the cinematography, while Mickey J Meyer provides the music. Karthika Srinivas R is the editor, and Sri Nagendra Tangala is the production designer. HIT 3 will be released in theatres on May 1 next year. Nani was last seen in Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, which was released this year, while Sailesh last directed the Venkatesh-starrer Saindhav, which received lukewarm reviews.
