Starring Rajkummar Rao as Vikram and Sanya Malhotra as Neha in the leading roles, HIT: The First Case was opened to mixed and positive reviews from the audience and the critics when it was released in the theatres on July 15. The suspense thriller is named as such because it follows how the Homicide Intervention Team (HIT) solves its first case of a missing girl.

Taking to its social media handles, the OTT giant shared the details and wrote, "Officer Vikram will need all your help in investigating, because this case packs a punch.

Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Rajkummar elaborated on various ridiculed reasons for which he was rejected for auditions in Bollywood as he said, "I was told so many things. You are not tall enough, your built is not right, your eyebrows are not in a certain shape, and very weird things. And I was like what, what about acting? Wo kisko chahiye."
