Telugu actor Nani’s latest thriller ‘Hit 3’, directed by Kulanur, hit theatres on Labor Day and has made a solid impact at the box office. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film reportedly earned an impressive ₹44 crore worldwide on its opening day, a testament to Nani’s strong fanbase and the franchise’s growing popularity.
Amidst the buzz surrounding the film’s release, a major update has surfaced that has taken fans by surprise. Tamil star Karthi is reportedly being roped in to play the lead role in the next installment, ‘Hit 4’. While an official confirmation is awaited, sources indicate that an announcement is expected soon.
Karthi is no stranger to intense action roles. Having portrayed police officers in films like Siruthai and Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru, he is seen as a perfect fit for the crime-thriller franchise. His entry is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the Hit cinematic universe, possibly expanding its reach to Tamil audiences.
Currently, Karthi is gearing up for the release of Sardaar 2 and is also set to headline Khaithi 2. Following these, Hit 4 is expected to go on floors with him in a pivotal role, marking his entry into this pan-Indian investigative thriller saga.
