1 Day to Go – Can Nani Hit The Bulls Eye?

With less than 24 hours to go, HIT 3: The Third Case is all set to hit the screens. Advance bookings in Telangana are already in full swing, but the delay in receiving the government GO in Andhra Pradesh has stalled online ticket sales there. Interestingly, midnight shows are being scheduled even in smaller towns like Railway Koduru. While the GO could be issued any moment now and ticket sales may begin, fans feel it would’ve been better if this had all happened a couple of days earlier. Regardless, the pre-release buzz seems to be higher than expected. Now, all eyes are on Nani’s determination.

After the success of Dasara, a major blockbuster, Nani has clearly shifted focus toward mass-oriented subjects. While he did take a softer role with Hi Nanna, his next choices, especially Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, proves his interest in specific genres. He’s making calculated choices that can push him into the top league. Despite the high levels of violence in HIT 3, he gave the green signal — and that shows his conviction. Even for Paradise, where his character has a bold edge, he was quick to say yes. If HIT 3 turns out to be a blockbuster, it will only strengthen his confidence and expand his market.

Nani is not just counting on the Telugu version — he believes HIT 3 can hold its ground even with stiff competition in other languages. In Tamil, it’s up against Retro, in Hindi it’s Ride 2, and in Hollywood, Thunderbolts is releasing at the same time. Still, Nani is confident that strong content will appeal across the board.
