Major actor Adivi Sesh is all set for yet another unique character. The cop thriller Hit is all set for a sequel that will be taking the franchise to a whole new level. Hit 2 features Adivi Sesh in an interesting character of a laid-back cop who is thrown off guard when a serial killer strikes the town. While his role has garnered quite a bit of attention, the actor said that his character won’t be ending with this installment but a Hit 3 is actually on cards. What more? the actor has confirmed being a part of it. In this exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Adivi Sesh spoke about Hit 3, which is the next in the thriller franchise.

Talking about Hit 3 franchise, we wondered if his character KD aka Krishna Dev will be a part of the third instalment in this conversation with Bollywood Hungama. “I don't know. All I know, is I am in for it. Have no idea,” maintained the actor. Fans may be aware that Adivi Sesh is not just an actor but also a popular writer and director. Considering his love for thriller cinema, we wondered if he considered the possibility of working on the franchise from behind the camera. “I think that's his, vision. I am just an actor in his film. Also, I think it's a very special DNA that Sailesh has within his psyche to make a film like this. It is so procedural yet he can make it work for the big screen. That's something he does but I am probably a bit more of an emotional person. So my way of doing things is a bit different.”

This year, yet another actor who got added in the Hit series was Rajkummar Rao. The first instalment Hit: The First Case (2020) that originally released in Telugu was remade in Hindi. Now that the actor has been added to the franchise, we wondered if he will be a part of the third film. To the same, Adivi Sesh replied, “He is a part of the franchise except that he the Telugu actor (Vishwak Sen) and Rajkummar both have the same facts story and the same conflict. I'm not sure how that works but maybe if there is a multiverse of sorts.”

He also spoke about what attracted him the most about the franchise. “I think there's something very cold and metallic about the Hit universe - like your emotions are going to be simmering under the surface, but they never come out fully until one particular explosion in the climax. So it's like this very cold way of looking at it. It's very European. I like the idea that you take something very cold and it suddenly burst at specific strategic points in the film. I quite like that. It's my first film in a long time where I haven't written the script. So it was very nice to come and submit to someone else's vision,” concluded Adivi Sesh.
