Nani is currently shooting for HIT 3, written and directed by Sailesh Kolanu. It’s the third part in the crime thriller franchise, which previously had HIT 1 starring Vishwak Sen and HIT 2 starring Adivi Sesh. It’s been reported that Srinidhi Shetty of KGF fame is playing the female lead. The makers are yet to confirm the news but cinephiles on X have spotted the actor on sets with Nani.

HIT 3 is a cop thriller starring Nani in the role of Arjun Sarkaar, who is more of a criminal and less of a cop. The makers introduced Nani’s character in the previous film of the franchise and hinted at his negative shade. The film is produced by Nani himself under his home banner of Wall Poster Cinema.

HIT 3 has cinematography by Sanu John Varghese, production design by Sri Nagendra Tangala and music by Mickey J Meyer. Director Sailesh Kolanu recently had Saindhav, starring Venkatesh and the film received underwhelming response from audiences and critics.
