Filmmaker Sailesh Kolanu, who shot to fame with the Tollywood movie HIT, is ready with its second installment. The first part, which starred Vishwak Sen in the lead, was released in 2020, and was judged as one of the engaging crime thrillers in Telugu. The movie was later remade into Hindi under the helm of Sailesh.

HIT 2 aka HIT: The 2nd Case has been slated for a theatrical release on December 2. Adivi Sesh is playing the protagonist in the second installment which has Rao Ramesh and Meenakshii Chaudhary among others essaying pivotal roles in it.
