Chennai, May 1 (NationPress) Distinguished Telugu film producer and president of the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, Dil Raju, stated that the triumph of director Sailesh Kolanu's newly released film 'Hit: The Third Case', starring actor Nani in the lead role, has provided the Telugu film industry with a much-needed relief.
Dil Raju expressed his thoughts during the film's success meet, observing that the industry was eagerly awaiting a boost after a month of dwindling theater attendance. He remarked, “On May 1, the Telugu film industry has exhaled. Last month, audiences were absent from cinemas, causing us concern as summer was nearing its end without adequate viewers. Several single screens in AP and Telangana had even shut down. During this challenging period, all eyes were on 'Hit: The Third Case'. We anxiously anticipated whether audiences would fill the theaters.”
“The early online bookings signaled positivity, and we were relieved to see viewers returning to theaters. The buzz around the film now emphasizes that the final thirty minutes are exceptional, with many proclaiming it fantastic. This enthusiasm has granted the Telugu film industry a much-needed break,” he added.
He further stated, “The film has made a remarkable debut. Until now, Nani's 'Dussehra' had the top overseas launch among his films, but this one has surpassed that as his highest overseas grosser. We anticipate similar success in Telangana.
Expressing gratitude to Nani for delivering a blockbuster, he said, “You have achieved a superhit as a producer, and now, as a producer-actor, it’s a hat-trick with Shailesh and Nani. The audience has invigorated us with their backing, indicating they are ready for unique and quality films. This superhit grants a reprieve to theaters, distributors, technicians, and artists.”
