Sailesh Kolanu impressed all with the thriller HIT. Nani produced the film with Vishwak Sen in the lead. Now the makers are planning a sequel for the film. While the first case revolved around a missing girl, second case will have more interesting case. Even the untouched Vishwak Sen’s flashback episode will also be revealed.

Prashanth Varma attracted the attention of the entire nation with Awe. The psychological thriller stunned all. Now he is coming up with a sequel titled Awe 2.

Generally dealing with thrillers and that too coming with sequels is quite risky. This because thriller genre has limited and targeted viewers. But the makers are concentrating on this genre as one can come with interesting films with in limited budget. The moment target viewers like it, they can easily reach the breakeven and so producers are getting attracted to it. However if the story is not strong and twists do not attract viewers, then they will be in for a shock.
