HIT 3 Vs Retro: On May 1st, two exciting movies, “Hit 3” and “Retro,” will compete at the box office. “Hit 3” is a crime investigation thriller directed by Sailesh Kolanu, featuring Nani in the lead role. In contrast, “Retro,” directed by Karthik Subbaraj, is a gangster love action drama starring Suriya. Both films are being promoted aggressively, and the promotional content has garnered significant attention from audiences. The key dates, venue, and chief guests for the pre-release event, the final stage of the promotional campaign, have been confirmed.
So far this summer, no major movies have been released, resulting in a lack of buzz at the box office. While some smaller films have come out, they have struggled to make a significant impact. In this context, two highly anticipated movies, ‘Hit 3’ and ‘Retro’, are set to be released on May 1st, and their pre-release events have been scheduled with the chief guests announced.
‘HIT 3: The Third Case,’ starring Nani in the lead role, is directed by Sailesh Kolanu. This film falls under the crime thriller genre and features Srinidhi Shetty as the heroine. The promotional material released so far has garnered a positive response from the audience, showcasing Nani in a never-before-seen, violent role. Since it is a Pan-India film, promotions are also being conducted in various languages. In light of this, arrangements are being made for a pre-release event.
The film team has announced that they will be holding a pre-release party for ‘Hit 3’ at the JRC Convention in Hyderabad on the evening of April 27. However, it is reported that director S. S. Rajamouli will be the chief guest for this. Rajamouli, who directed the film ‘Eega’ with Nani, previously attended the pre-release events of Nani’s ‘Hit’ and ‘Hit 2’ as the chief guest. It is understood that Jakkanna has been invited to the ‘Hit 3’ event with the same sentiment.

Thus, the pre-release events of the films ‘Hit 3’ and ‘Retro’, which are competing at the box office on May 1st, will be held at the same venue with a gap of one day. While one is a film produced by Nani himself, the other is a film produced by Suriya himself. There are good expectations among the fans for both. It remains to be seen which one will impress the audience and become a great success.
