After captivating audiences with her roles in KGF 1 and KGF 2, actress Srinidhi Shetty is ready to take on the Telugu big screen again with HIT: The Third Case. The actress, who plays the role of Mrudula in the upcoming action-thriller, recently opened up about her experience while promoting the film in Mumbai—and she had some interesting things to say, including a humorous take on her filmography.
“I think I am working in numerology,” Srinidhi laughed. “KGF 1, KGF 2, and now HIT 3, and I think I will do HIT 4 as well.” Her tongue-in-cheek remark had the media in splits and highlighted her excitement to be part of yet another major cinematic universe.
Revealing how she landed the role in HIT 3, Srinidhi shared an unexpected behind-the-scenes story. “Before signing HIT 3, I was doing another Telugu movie titled Telusu Kada. During the Pooja and Mahurat ceremony, Nani came to the sets as he is a good friend of Neeraja Kona, who is directing Telusu Kada. Nani thought I looked fresh, and he needed a new face for HIT 3, so later he approached me for the role. The director narrated the story of HIT 3, and things finalized.”
The trailer for HIT 3 has already generated buzz, and Srinidhi is thrilled with the audience’s reaction. “I am really happy that we have shown so much love and accepted the movie even before its release,” she said. “Going just by the trailer, one might think it is all about violence, but we cannot forget that it is an investigative thriller and drama. So, there is more to the film than just violence—the movie has lots to offer. Arjun Sarkaar has so many shades. I really think the audience will enjoy the movie.”
With the film set to release worldwide on May 1, 2025, expectations are soaring. Directed by Sailesh Kolanu and starring Nani in the lead, HIT: The Third Case is the latest chapter in the gripping HIT Universe—and with Srinidhi Shetty joining the ride, fans are in for a thrilling treat.
