The May Day Clash: HIT 3 vs Retro
The release of HIT 3 coincides with Suriya’s Retro, setting the stage for an exciting Telugu-Tamil box office showdown on May 1. Trade analysts suggest that both films could coexist successfully, given their distinct genres, HIT 3 as a gritty action thriller and Retro as a romantic action drama. However, Nani’s film is poised to outperform in Telugu markets and overseas, potentially setting new benchmarks for the actor’s career.
