Following the box office success of Hot Spot 2 Much, director Vignesh Karthick announced that he is making a third instalment in the franchise. The second outing itself hints at the prospect of a third chapter in the series of films. Taking to social media on February 19, Thursday, Vignesh said that his film, a sequel to 2024’s Hot Spot, may not have become a blockbuster in the truest sense of the word but has earned six times greater than what its predecessor minted from theatres and has satisfied his producers. “Hence, it will always be a film very close to my heart,” the director shared.
The filmmaker also defined what the terms ‘hit’ and ‘blockbuster’ mean. “A hit is different for every film. A 300 crore budget film, collecting 350 crore is a hit. Whereas a two crore budget film collecting 10 crore is a blockbuster,” director Vignesh shared.
Following the film's successful run in theatres, its producers Aneel Reddy, Suresh Kumar, and Robbie have presented Vignesh with a car. The filmmaker expressed his gratitude to the producers for helping him attain what once he dreamt about.
He also thanked the audience for the support they have shown to his film. “See you soon with Hot Spot 3, but before that, my next proper full length feature announcement soon,” the filmmaker shared. He ended his note expressing his eagerness to announce his next project.
In a recent conversation with CE, Vignesh has talked about what the third film would explore.
Meanwhile, Hot Spot 2 Much is releasing on Prime Video and Aha on February 20, Friday. The makers expect that it will have an even better reception after premiering on the digital platforms, just like the first part.
