Hero Nani is scaling new heights with each film, and the buzz around HIT 3 is proof of his rising popularity. After delivering three consecutive hits, expectations are sky-high. Judging by the film’s grand release plan, HIT 3 is almost on par with a big star’s movie in terms of hype and scale. The opening collections are expected to be massive.
With no major competitors at the box office this summer, HIT 3 is shaping up to be the season’s biggest release. After weeks of dull performances at the ticket counters, industry insiders are pinning high hopes on this film. A quick look at online ticketing platforms reveals the overwhelming number of screens allocated to HIT 3. Most theaters are giving it prime slots, sidelining older releases that have failed to make an impact.
Meanwhile, Suriya’s Retro is also slated for release on May 1st. However, it has secured only a limited number of screens in Telugu states and is carrying relatively low buzz. Unless Retro garners extremely strong word-of-mouth post-release, it is unlikely to challenge HIT 3 at the box office. Early projections suggest modest openings for Retro, whereas HIT 3 is poised for a grand opening.
If HIT 3 manages to live up to the hype and delivers positive word-of-mouth, Nani could very well be heading toward the biggest blockbuster of his career.
