Madras High Court issues notice to HIT 3 team

The Madras High Court has issued a notice to the HIT 3 team to respond to plagiarism charges by July 7. A scriptwriter named Vimalavelan, also known as Vimal, claimed that he had submitted a synopsis to actor Nani a long time ago. He was shocked to discover that his story idea was allegedly used for HIT 3. According to him, the basic script is the same.

He has filed a case against Nani, director Sailesh Kolanu, and the producers, accusing them of plagiarism.

Interestingly, the writer is said to be a die-hard fan of Nani. He also claimed that he had registered the script with the South Indian Film Writers’ Association on August 4, 2021, and later submitted the synopsis to Nani on August 8, 2022, hoping for a collaboration.

Nani and his team are now required to respond to the Madras High Court and address the matter.

“HIT 3” was released in theaters on May 1, 2025. The film was an average-grossing movie.
