Dr Sailesh Kolanu who directed the original will helm the Hindi version. The film will be produced by Dil Raju and Kuldeep Rathore. The title of the Hindi version has not yet been revealed yet.

HIT’s plot focuses on a cop who is investigating the missing case of a woman. Rajkummar Rao, who will be playing the cop, is thrilled to be a part of the movie. “It’s an engaging story, relevant in today’s environment. As an actor, I am always on the lookout to play characters I haven’t explored, and HIT gives me a chance to do that. I am looking forward to take the journey with Sailesh and Dil Raju,” the actor said in a statement.

The interesting aspect of the project is that the makers are planning to make HIT as a massive investigating franchise ,both in Bollywood and Tollywood.

Dr Sailesh Kolanu shared that he intends to expand the HIT universe down south and in Bollywood as well. He said, “Yes, I see HIT has the potential to be a successful franchise in Bollywood too. I feel the premise of HIT is very global. Of course, I will be making very minor changes to suit the sensibilities of the audience all over India. The idea is to create a realistic world of crime and investigation and put a bunch of beautifully flawed and grey characters in that world. And then let multiple stories unfold within that world.”

The Hindi remake of HIT is scheduled to go on floors next year.
