<?php
echo " hello this is sample";
exit();
// I want run another file here after exit command called 
next-file.php
echo "next-file is successfully running";
?>

Use include_once 'next-file.php'; to import and run the code.

Then related to PHP Doc, here is the definition of exit():

Terminates execution of the script. Shutdown functions and object destructors will always be executed even if exit is called.

So add this code line into the shutdown function as below:

function shutdown()
{
  include_once 'next-file.php';
  echo "next-file is successfully running", PHP_EOL;
}

register_shutdown_function('shutdown');

Be sure to record this function before the exit().
