Trivia

Nani in an interview revealed that while the previous films in the HIT franchise were whodunit (who committed the crime) thrillers where the investigation started and the killer was revealed only in the end, HIT 3 was not about 'who' but about 'how'. He further added that the film did not justify police brutality.

During the film's pre-release event, Sailesh Kolanu requested moviegoers under 18 years to stay away from the film due to its violent content. He remarked that the makers, from the very beginning, had been very clear about the showcasing of violence, which made the film not appropriate for children.

As to whether he saw Suriya's Retro (2025) that was also releasing on May 1 as competition, Nani said that it was a party instead, where both were coming to celebrate their films with everyone. Believing Retro to definitely and rightfully be the first choice for the Tamil audience, he hoped for them to enjoy the film and also promised them a great experience with HIT 3 after they have enjoyed Retro. During Retro's Telugu version's pre-release event, Suriya reiterated that it was going to be a party with the release of both films, and hoped for Nani to score a hat-trick with HIT 3 after Saripodhaa Sanivaaram (2024) and Court - State Vs. A Nobody (2025).

Aside from Retro (2025), the film also shares its release date with Raid 2 (2025). Initially, the makers of both films didn't have any story planned for the second and third parts while making their predecessors. Nani made a cameo appearance as Arjun Sarkaar at the end of HIT: The 2nd Case (2022), but the makers didn't have any story on their minds for the third installment until Sailesh Kolanu came up with a story Nani approved of. Similarly, Raj Kumar Gupta didn't intend to make Raid 2 while making Raid (2018). It was only after the first film's success and spending almost a year and a half on the screenplay that Raid 2 came into the picture.

Nani has clarified that people can watch the film even if they haven't watched HIT (2020) and HIT: The 2nd Case (2022), and considers it a standalone film.
