Karthi’s Entry in HIT 3 Sparks Speculation About Fourth Installment

The latest installment in the 'HIT' film franchise, HIT 3: The Third Case, was released today. The film features Natural Star Nani in the lead role and is directed by Sailesh Kolanu.

For some time, there has been widespread speculation that Kollywood star actor Karthi would appear in a guest role in the movie. With the release of HIT 3 on Thursday, this speculation has now been confirmed. Karthi indeed makes an appearance in the film’s climax, portraying the character of a police officer named Ratnavel Pandian.

Karthi’s entry is marked by a powerful moment in which he delivers a famous line by renowned poet Gurajada Apparao — “The nation is not just soil... the nation is its people” — in his distinctive style, earning notable attention.

Following the release, netizens have been actively sharing clips of Karthi’s cameo and praising the impact of his entrance. Many are asserting that Karthi will be the lead actor in the fourth installment of the 'HIT' universe. This assumption is based on a pattern established by director Sailesh Kolanu: in previous films of the 'HIT' series, the actors who appeared in the climax went on to become the lead heroes in the subsequent installment.

This has led to growing anticipation that Karthi will headline the fourth film in the 'HIT' franchise.
