Surya Srinivas, who plays ASP Ravi in HIT: The Third Case, recently opened up about how he landed the role in the film.
“I got a call from Wall Poster Cinema. They said they were from the HIT franchise and asked me to drop by. When I walked in, Sailesh sir was reading a book. He asked me what I do, and I showed him my previous work. I had a three-minute video I had recorded for an audition—it wasn't even meant for this role. But after watching it, he said, ‘That's enough. I'll talk to Nani and get back to you.' And boom—I was in,” the actor told Telangana Today.
The HIT franchise began in 2020 with HIT: The First Case, featuring Vishwak Sen and Ruhani Sharma. It was followed by HIT: The Second Case in 2022. The second part featured Adivi Sesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary in lead roles.
