Nani's upcoming film HIT 3, also known as ' HIT - The Third Case', is generating significant buzz ahead of its release, scheduled for May 1st. The film has started pre-bookings earlier than most star-hero films, highlighting the meticulous planning behind its release. The HIT 3 team has ensured smooth arrangements, including sending overseas hard drives in advance to avoid last-minute chaos.
HIT 3 has adhered to the standard ticket rates permissible under the authorities in Telangana, with prices ranging from ₹175 for single-screen tickets to ₹295 in multiplexes. In Andhra Pradesh, multiplex tickets cost about ₹177, and single-screen tickets cost between ₹110 to ₹145. If HIT 3 receives good word of mouth upon release, the producers are likely to seek a hike in ticket prices, which could be a relief for struggling cinema owners.
The film's crime thriller appeal is expected to attract a specific audience, primarily the mass and younger crowd. The advance bookings of the film are off to a good start, with premiere pre-sales crossing the $200K mark in the US and registering housefulls in theaters in Hyderabad.
The film's censor formalities have been completed, and the film's ticket rates have been finalized in the Telugu states. HIT 3 was censored with an A certificate and has a runtime of 157 minutes. Tollywood is currently witnessing a slump in the theater run for films, and exhibitors expect HIT 3 to come out of this dull phase by becoming a blockbuster. The film's success is crucial for both the team and theater managements.
