Dulquer’s Wayfarer Films will release the Nani starrer in Kerala. The actor is continuously releasing his films in other languages. While his films are received very well on OTT by all languages, they are not able to work that big in theaters.

Can HIT 3 provide the much-needed Pan-Indian Success for Nani?

So, theatrically, Nani is still awaiting a pan-Indian hit, and we need to see whether HIT 3 will provide the much-needed success for the actor.

Presently, theaters are running at a deficit for more than 75% of the days in a year. Subsequently, the losses are growing with 80% of the invested amounts resulting in losses for many films.

Distributors and exhibitors need to unite and take a stand. Only the unity of exhibitors and distributors can bring change to the distribution terms, early OTT releases, and ticket pricing. Until then, distributors may continue to face tough times.
