Soon after the release of HIT 3, Sailesh Kolanu will share screen space with Akkineni Nagarjuna, one of the most diverse actors in Telugu cinema. Sources say Sailesh recently narrated to Nagarjuna an action drama script, and the latter liked it and asked for a complete narration. Having played his landmark roles in films like Shiva and Bangarraju, Nagarjuna wants to do a cop drama now, so the pairing is eagerly awaited.

Sailesh’s Experiences Outside the HIT Franchise

Though Sailesh has faced gigantic success with the HIT franchise, his non-franchise films like Saindhav have not received much success. But the resilience and innovation of the director have placed him once again more forcefully with HIT 3.
