A fan has filed a copyright case against the makers of Hit 3: The Third Case in the Madras High Court. Despite the film’s success and Nani entering the 100-crore club, writer Vimal Soni (Sonia Vimal) alleged the story was copied from her works Agent 11 and Agent V.

She submitted her original scripts to the court. Directed by Shailesh Kolanu and produced by Prasanthi Tipirneni, Hit 3 released on May 1. Kolanu has faced similar plagiarism allegations before, including for his film Sainthav.
