Nani’s HIT 3 is currently creating a rampage at the box office, performing strongly in both North America and the Telugu states. Commercially, the film is a clear success. Critically, however, it has received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences.
One interesting element stirring conversation online is the film’s climax, which features a cameo from HIT 2’s hero Adivi Sesh and a sneak peek at the actor who will lead HIT 4. However, what’s notably missing is Vishwak Sen — the actor who originally launched the HIT franchise with the first film. He does not appear in HIT 3, and that absence has sparked a wave of discussion across social media.

Since the release of HIT 3, social media platforms have been flooded with opinion polls, comparisons, and debates about which lead actor delivered the most impactful performance across the HIT franchise. The surprising — yet strong — consensus? Vishwak Sen.
Despite HIT 3 being Nani’s moment in the spotlight, and despite all the surrounding buzz, the majority of fans are naming Vishwak as the most compelling and powerful performer in the series so far.

When we compare thrillers in the same franchise, it is common that audiences will have different opinions on which one they liked the most based on their exposure to the thriller genre, but here, when they debate about the impact through performance, only one is unanimous — that is Vishwak.
Many are even calling this a wake-up call for Vishwak Sen, urging him to rediscover the same fire and passion he showed in HIT 1 — something they feel has been missing in his recent films.

Vishwak Sen getting more praise than names like Nani and Adivi Sesh—for a film that came out back in 2020 and is still remembered—is no small feat.
It shows that his performance left a lasting impression and that audiences still connect with that intensity. This could very well be a reality check — and an opportunity — for Vishwak to realign with the kind of roles and performances that originally won him the audience’s love.
More than anything, he first needs to prioritize his fitness — it will kickstart positive momentum for him.
Hopefully, amidst all the hype and discussion around HIT 3, Vishwak Sen takes note of the appreciation coming his way. Because if this social media buzz proves anything, it’s that fans haven’t forgotten where the franchise began — and who set the tone for it all.
