Director Sailesh Kolanu On HIT's Hindi Remake
"So it'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 matured performance. I felt Raj can evoke that kind of a response. I have been following Rajkummar's work ever since I watched 'Shaitan'. He is a terrific actor and has managed to surprise us everytime with his performances," said Kolanu.
HIT Has A Franchise Potential
Talking about the franchise in the south and the possibility of more films in Hindi, Kolanu added, "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."
