The first two editions of the HIT movie series featured Vishwak Sen and Adivi Sesh in lead roles. HIT 3 is headlined by Natural Star Nani. It is gearing up for theatrical release on May 1st.
An interesting rumour has surfaced about HIT 4 and HIT 5. The two movies won't feature a Telugu hero. They will be headlined by Tamil actor Karthi and a Malayalam actor, respectively.
The climax of HIT 3 will witness the appearance of Karthi. Just as the climax of HIT 2 featured Nani. HIT 4 will most likely go on the floors in the second half of 2026.
Will HIT 3 work?
HIT 3 is touted to be a Howdunit and not a Whodunit. Arjun Sarkar is Nani's name in the thriller. If the film clicks commercially, actor-producer Nani will make HIT 4 on a bigger scale. Karthi is an actor with a proven market range in Tamil and Telugu (although the same has been uneven in the post-Covid scenario). But if HIT 3 doesn't do well, director Sailesh Kolanu's credibility will take a beating. His previous film, Venkatesh's Saindhav, was a flop.
