Director Sailesh Kolanu, known for delivering gripping stories in the HIT franchise, recently expressed strong displeasure over a major leak from his upcoming film HIT: The Third Case. The film, which stars Nani and Srinidhi Shetty, will hit theatres on May 1, 2025, promising a thrilling summer experience for fans. Over the past few days, several websites have spread a major update: a popular Kollywood actor will make a special cameo appearance in HIT 3 and then play a full-fledged role in HIT 4.
The leak, which should have remained a surprise for audiences, reached the internet well before the official release. This early reveal angered Sailesh, who took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and shared a heartfelt message. In his post, he directly criticized some media outlets for ruining the hard-earned surprise his team had carefully planned.
Director Demands Ethical Journalism from the Media
Sailesh emphasized that revealing crucial film details disrespects both the creators and the audience. He explained how many crew members work tirelessly, day and night, to create impactful moments that viewers should enjoy only on the big screen. When reporters leak such content early, they rob fans of those carefully crafted experiences.
While Sailesh acknowledged that media professionals feel the urge to report news quickly, he insisted that they must recognize the ethical line. He urged journalists and media houses to act responsibly and respect the creative process and effort behind each cinematic moment.
“You’re Stealing the Audience’s Experience” – Sailesh Kolanu
Sailesh firmly stated that leaking film surprises amounts to stealing. “When you leak such moments, you don’t just steal from the hardworking film crew—you also take away the joy and wonder the audience deserves to feel in theatres,” he wrote.
He reminded readers that, historically, some journalists chose not to publish sensitive or impactful details out of ethical concern. He said he wishes more media professionals today could show the same integrity and class.
HIT 3 Cast Leak Triggers Industry-Wide Concern
With HIT: The Third Case approaching its release date, news of the Kollywood star’s cameo has already become a trending topic. While fans express excitement, the early reveal has diminished some of the suspense. Sailesh Kolanu’s strong reaction underscores the enormous effort behind film production and highlights why protecting creative surprises remains so essential – for both filmmakers and viewers alike.
