A lot of reports have been speculated about mathematician Anand Kumar's biopic. It was earlier said that Hrithik Roshan has been roped in to play the titular role. Then rumours started making the rounds of Akshay Kumar being approached for the role. However, now Hrithik has been finalised for the role and the movie is titled Super 30.
Confirming the news, Anand stated, “I am happy that Hrithik will play me because he is the best choice for the role. His dedication towards his work and the kind of versatility he exhibits as an actor is very inspiring. Being a rooted and passionate person myself, I feel that he will bring an emotional depth to my life on screen. I am excited to see Hrithik as Anand Kumar essaying my emotional journey."
The film will be directed by Vikas Bahl and talking about him, Anand added, "I trust Vikas with my story and I am confident that he will make a sensible and heartfelt film about me and what I strive to do."
When Vikas was asked about the project, he said, "Truth, they say, is stranger than fiction. Anand sir's life story is the most beautiful. His mission to share his knowledge and educate children and help poor families is unprecedented. Fighting circumstances, lack of resources and the system that only wanted to pull him down, he is the true hero of today's India. I'm excited to take his story to the world."
