Development
“I had written both the stories based on news reports in other countries, and it is eerie to see such real-life similarities prior to the release of these films,” says Sailesh.
On 24 October 2019, the ceremonial puja for The First Case was held and production for the film commenced. Nani and Prashanti Tipirneni produced the film under "Wall Poster Cinema" banner. This film is their second venture after Awe. A teaser was launched on 1 January 2020.
After the success of HIT: The First Case, Nani announced a sequel in February 2021, one year after the film's release.[4] Sailesh Kolanu who directed the first film of the franchise would be directing this. Adivi Sesh has replaced Vishwak Sen in the sequel.[5] 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.[6] Meenakshi Chaudhary was cast opposite Sesh.[7] Sen said he missed out on the sequel due to scheduling conflicts, and wished he'd be part of HIT 3 or 4.[citation needed]
