The action-thriller that doubles up as a cop drama will star Rajkummar Rao in the lead role in the Hindi remake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HIT &#8211; which stands for Homicide Intervention Team &#8211; tells the story of a cop who is on the trail of a missing woman. Director <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KolanuSailesh\">Sailesh Kolanu<\/a> who garnered accolades for this cop thriller will be helming the project in Hindi as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Talking about getting Rajkumar Rao on board for the film, Dr.Sailesh Kolanu shares, &#8220;The first case of HIT tells the story of a police officer who is constantly fighting a battle with his past and his present. So it&#8217;s a troubled character. I wanted to cast someone who can bring that darkness to the role and still make the audience root for him with a mature performance. I felt Raj can evoke that kind of response. I have been following Rajkummar&#8217;s work ever since I watched Shaitaan. He is a terrific actor and has managed to surprise us every time with his performances. I am really excited to be working with Rajkummar Rao and Dil Raju Sir on this project.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Elated to join the project, Rajkummar Rao says<\/strong>, &#8220;When I saw HIT, I instantly connected with it. It&#8217;s an engaging story, relevant in today&#8217;s environment. As an actor, I am always on the lookout to play characters I haven\u2019t explored and HIT gives me a chance to do that. I&#8217;m looking forward to taking this journey with Sailesh &amp; Mr.Dil Raju.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HIT is planned as a massive investigation franchise down south and Director Dr. Sailesh Kolanu is keen to follow that in Bollywood too. Sharing his thoughts, the director said, &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Producer <a href=\"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/20-lakhs-donation-by-dil-rajus-svc-banner-to-ap-ts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dil Raju<\/a>, who is remaking Nani&#8217;s Jersey in Hindi with Shahid Kapoor will be backing this venture under Dil Raju Productions banner along with Kuldeep Rathore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The film is now in pre-production and will go on floors in 2021. More details will be announced soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Telugu superhit film HIT, which captured the hearts of the audiences upon release, is all set to reach a wider audience now with a Hindi remake.
