Conversation with Sailesh Kolanu on ‘HIT 3’ | The Hindu Cinema

In this post-release analysis of ‘HIT: The Third Case’, director Sailesh Kolanu addresses appreciation and criticisms, working with Nani, and the research that went into creating the high action crime drama HIT: The Third Case, or HIT 3, has brought cheer to the box office. Two days after the release of the Telugu film starring Nani and Srinidhi Shetty, which has also been dubbed in other languages, its director Sailesh Kolanu is relieved, happy and filled with gratitude. “I finally caught up on sleep. I survived on an hour or two of sleep in the last two months, sometimes in the car rather than going home, when the film’s post-production was underway,” he says, settling down for an interview at the production house Wall Poster Cinema office in Hyderabad. On the day of release, he watched the film at Prasads multiplex and at Sudarshan theatre to gauge audience reaction. “It is great to see the energy in the theatres, and satisfying to see full halls.” Thank you for watching our video!
