Hrithik Roshan will be seen on the big screen next in Super 30. If you are not aware of this, the movie is based on the math genius from Bihar, Anand Kumar, who coached poor IIT aspirants in his coaching classes, mostly for 'free', and claimed 100% success rate. Super 30, directed by Vikas Bahl, was supposed to come out this year, has now postponed its release to January 25, 2019. This was the first biopic that Hrithik Roshan will be a part of, if you do not count the fictional narrative of Jodha Akbar.
All was going well for Super 30, till the movie's muse, Anand Kumar, began to attract many controversies and allegations for his claims of having a 100% success rate. For one, Abhayanand, an ex IPS officer and co-founder of Super 30 classes, have filed a case against him, saying his involvement in the coaching is being sidelined. Then some of the students have alleged that Kumar has been lying about the high success rate of Super 30 and that he used to make them join another coaching class for a high fee and take commission from them.
With all these controversies surrounding the man, we did wonder how the film will portray Anand Kumar now. As per a report in DNA, the makers of the film is now changing their strategy of making Super 30 an inspirational flick to a movie where the protagonist challenges the system. A source close to the project told the publication, "Hrithik Roshan, who plays the role of the maths genius, and the team will now promote the film in a different manner. Earlier, they were to promote it as an inspirational story, but now they are going to showcase it as a ‘man who takes on the system’."
Will these late changes make Super 30 a coherent film? How will the audience accept this new narrative following Anand Kumar's controversies? We will have to wait for the first trailer of the film to come out, so that we can have some idea.
