Nani’s HIT 3 Success Meet: A blockbuster with a patriotic vibe

Nani’s HIT 3 Success Meet: A blockbuster with a patriotic vibe
The cast and crew of HIT: The 3rd Case came together to celebrate the film’s blockbuster success with an energetic and heartfelt success meet. The event was as emotional as it was grand, with lead actor Nani, director Dr. Sailesh Kolanu, co-star Adivi Sesh, and heroine Srinidhi Shetty expressing gratitude to fans, colleagues, and most importantly, the Indian Army. The movie, which released on May 1, has received rave reviews from both audiences and critics, and is being celebrated as one of the biggest pan-India hits of 2025.
 
Opening the success meet with a strong patriotic tone, Nani addressed the crowd saying that there was initial hesitation about celebrating, considering the sensitive situation in the country. “We thought whether it was appropriate to celebrate during this time. But our Army responded with grace and dignity. They made it clear that enemies can’t shake us. This celebration is not just for the film, but to show that nothing can break the spirit of our people,” he said. He saluted the Indian Army and thanked them on behalf of the entire HIT 3 team.

Speaking about the film’s overwhelming reception, Nani shared, “We knew it would be a hit, but we didn’t expect this level of love. Audiences are celebrating this crime thriller like a mass commercial film, and that’s the most satisfying part.” He praised the performances of every actor, the contribution of each technician, and called director Nagendra’s set design “unbelievable.” He also appreciated DOP Sanu, music director Mickey J Meyer, fight choreographers Satish and Lee, and the entire direction department.

He further thanked Sailesh Kolanu, calling him “cool and consistent,” and even hinted that their next collaboration could be a comedy entertainer. “He has great comic timing too, so let’s try something funny next,” Nani smiled. The event was also significant for Nani personally, as his all-time favorite film Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari was re-released on the same day. He also took time to wish success to other films like Sri Vishnu’s new release and Samantha’s Shubham, adding, “The industry should flourish. Every movie should do well.”

HIT Franchise Growth and Strong Team Bonds
Adivi Sesh, who made a special appearance in the film, said he was proud of how the Army handled the nation's security and felt inspired to live a life that made them proud. He admired Nani’s decision to continue with the celebration, stating, “It’s important to send the message that life goes on, and we stand strong.” On the movie’s success, he said, “The audience embraced HIT 3 beautifully. The response to my brief appearance was beyond what I expected. I’m happy and looking forward to returning to theaters soon.” Producer Deepti became emotional as she shared a personal anecdote: “There’s a line in the trailer: ‘You can’t survive.’ We used to tell Nani the same when he first came into films. But not only did he survive, he soared. Watching the film in a single screen with fans was magical. I’m proud of Nani and proud of our audience.”

Srinidhi Shetty, who played Mridula, thanked director Sailesh for choosing her for such a layered character. “He narrated the story with so much passion and made the film with equal dedication. Working with Nani was a blessing. He is honest, focused, and deeply committed. The journey has been wonderful,” she said. Director Sailesh Kolanu opened his speech with a salute to the Indian soldiers. “They are the real heroes, and they give us the safety to do our jobs,” he stated. He thanked the media for pushing good content and the audience for supporting meaningful cinema.

Speaking about the film’s team, he said, “Art director Nagendra gave a unique tone to the film, editor Karthik Srinivas added a stylish touch, and Mickey J Meyer’s background score elevated every frame. DOP Sanu delivered excellent visuals. Srinidhi’s action scenes were mind-blowing she performed without a body double.” He emotionally reflected on his journey with Nani, “I was nervous when I started working with him because I admire him a lot. But today, watching him smile at this event, I feel like I’ve justified his trust. Hearing him say, ‘I’m proud of you, Sailesh,’ is a big moment for me.”

Other team members, including Pavani, Srinath Maganti, Amit, and Nagendra, also shared their experiences and expressed gratitude for being part of such a powerful project. They applauded Nani’s ability to encourage new talent and maintain humility despite his success. The event wrapped up with the entire team acknowledging the film’s reception, the support of fans, and the dream of making HIT an even bigger franchise. As Nani promised to go even bigger in 2026, HIT 3 stands tall as a rare thriller that won hearts with its storytelling, technical brilliance, and emotional depth leaving fans excited for what’s next in the HIT universe.
