Starring Adivi Sesh in the lead role, the mystery thriller HIT 2 or HIT: The Second Case was released to glowing reviews on December 2 and also did wonders at the box office collecting Rs 28.1 crore in the first weekend. The Telugu crime thriller is based on the search to find a serial killer who has murdered multiple women.
Among all the positive reviews that the film has been receiving online, one netizen suggested that Samantha Ruth Prabhu should join the HIT universe as they wrote, "I think in one/two of #HIT future instalments, there should be female protagonists like Samantha. What do you say? #HIT2".
His tweet was noticed by Adivi Sesh, who replied to them and wrote, "That’s a terrific idea! What do you say Sam?@Samanthaprabhu2", tagging the Yashoda actress. Samantha was quick to react to the same and congratulated the actor for the film's success as she wrote, "A badass cop...sounds like fun. Congratulations on your super HIT @AdiviSesh always cheering for you".
Meanwhile, at the end of HIT 2, it was revealed that Nani will be seen in the next movie as he was introduced as the cop Arjun Sarkar, a friend of Adivi's character Krishna Dev aka KD. Nani, who wowed the audience with his entertaining performance in Ante Sundaraniki this year, has also produced the film under his banner Wall Poster Cinema.
