Natural Star Nani Celebrates the Blockbuster Success of HIT: The 3rd Case

Natural Star Nani continues his winning streak with the resounding success of HIT: The 3rd Case. Fresh off a promotional tour in the U.S., Nani joined the team at a celebratory event today to mark the film's impressive box office performance.

Actor Adivi Sesh shared a touching moment from the event, recalling a conversation with Nani about whether it was appropriate to celebrate during a time of national tension. “I asked Nani if we should go ahead with the celebration, and his thoughtful response really moved me,” said Sesh. He went on to express his gratitude to the Indian Army for safeguarding the peace that allows everyday life to continue.

“Though my role was limited to 20 minutes, I loved being a part of this film,” Sesh said. “Audiences connected deeply with both Mrudula and Arjun Sarkaar. Nani’s portrayal of Arjun was outstanding—pure cinematic badassery. I'm overwhelmed by the response.”

Nani also acknowledged the current national mood, thanking the Indian government and armed forces for their continued service. Speaking on the film’s performance, he remarked, “I always believed HIT 3 would do well, but it has far exceeded my expectations. It’s inspiring to see a gritty crime thriller being celebrated like a mass entertainer.”

He praised director Sailesh Kolanu’s versatility, hinting at future projects: “Beyond the HIT franchise, Sailesh and I plan to collaborate on a comedy soon.”

Nani also spoke fondly of his co-stars. “Sesh and I share a strong bond that began during HIT 2 and only deepened with HIT 3. Karthi was phenomenal as ACP Veerappan—we’re looking forward to creating something exciting together. Srinidhi is a true talent—she performed all her stunts without a body double, which is truly commendable.”

Reflecting on recent achievements, Nani added, “With Court and HIT 3, 2025 has already become a memorable year. I’m committed to making 2026 even more impactful.”

HIT: The 3rd Case entered the profit zone within its opening weekend and continues to enjoy a strong theatrical run, reinforcing Nani’s reputation as a bankable star with a knack for diverse storytelling.
