Production
After the success of HIT: The First Case, Nani announced a sequel in February 2021, one year after the film's release.[3] Sailesh Kolanu who directed the first film of the franchise would be directing this. Adivi Sesh has replaced Vishwak Sen in the sequel.[4] Nani wanted the franchise to be "concept oriented" rather than "star oriented," so he moved the setting from Telangana to Andhra Pradesh and chose Sesh as the protagonist.[5] Meenakshi Chaudhary was cast opposite Sesh.[6] Sen said the he missed out on the sequel due to scheduling conflicts, and wished he'd be part of HIT 3 or 4.[7]
The film was launched in March 2021 with a formal pooja ceremony.[2] Sesh joined the production in August 2021.[8] In December 2021, Nani confirmed that 90% of the shoot is completed. Filming took place in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam.[5]
Release
The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on 29 July 2022.[9]
