HIT 3 is Nani's new film that will hit the screens on May 1, 2025, and there is massive buzz as Nani will be seen as a cop for the first time in his career. He plays Arjun Sarkaar in this film, which is currently facing censorship issues. The Jersey actor is making things work as a producer and is hell-bent on getting a U/A certification for the film. However, the censors are pushing for an A certificate due to the extreme violence.
Is Nani playing the killer in HIT 3?
Now, yet another aspect of the film has become a hot topic. The buzz in film circles is that Nani is playing a double role in the film—one as a cop, and the other as the killer, who is seen wearing a white suit in the promos. All the stories in the HIT franchise revolve around tracking down a deranged killer targeting women in society. The same premise continues here, and Nani is rumored to be playing the main villain as well.

Though this twist has not been confirmed, it’s already a big talking point. If true, it will be one hell of an experience to watch the Krishnarjuna Yuddham actor in a dual role. Srinidhi Shetty plays the female lead, and her character is said to bring a major twist to the story. That’s also why the makers have kept her away from the promotions.
The pre-release event of the film will take place in Tirupati in the coming days. Nani is producing the film under his Wall Poster Cinema banner, and Sailesh Kolanu—who directed the first two installments of the HIT franchise—is back at the helm for HIT 3. There are also reports that Adivi Sesh, of Kshanam and Goodachari fame, will be making a cameo in the film, reprising his role from HIT 2.
All these elements have made the film a hot topic in the industry. Netflix has bagged the digital rights for a fancy price, but Nani’s rumored double role has taken the buzz a notch higher. Only time will tell if this speculation turns out to be true. Rao Ramesh of Mazka fame will also be seen in a key role in this film.
