The actor told Telangana Today, "I got a call from Wall Poster Cinema. They said they were from the HIT franchise and asked me to drop by. When I walked in, Sailesh sir was reading a book. He asked me what I do, and I showed him my previous work."
He added, "I had a three-minute video I had recorded for an audition—it wasn't even meant for this role. But after watching it, he said, ‘That's enough. I'll talk to Nani and get back to you.' And boom—I was in."
HIT: The Third Case is directed by Sailesh Kolanu. The film revolves around SP Arjun Sarkaar, played by Nani, who is sent to Jammu and Kashmir to investigate a series of brutal murders. As he pursues a group of elusive killers, the case tests his skills and mental strength.
The HIT franchise began in 2020 with HIT: The First Case, starring Vishwak Sen and Ruhani Sharma. The second installment, HIT: The Second Case, came in 2022. The sequel featured Adivi Sesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary in lead roles.
