Super 30 Founder Anand Kumar Accused of Fraud; Will Hrithik Roshan's Film on His Life Be Affected?
The movie is directed by Vikas Bahl and is scheduled to release on January 26, 2019.
Trouble trouble! It looks like Hrithik Roshan's first proper biopic, Super 30, is in serious trouble thanks to something that's happening in real life. As you might be knowing, the movie is based on the life of mathematics coach Anand Kumar from Bihar and it is named after his coaching institute. Anand Kumar is known for coaching poor IIT aspirants for the entrance exams and claims to have done so. In this year's IIT-JEE, he claimed that 26 out of 30 students from the class have cleared the exams. But some students of his academy have refuted these claims.
As per a report in India Today, some of the students have claimed that only three students have passed the exams. Gagan, a student of Super-30, alleges, "Only Onorjeet is the student of Super-30 and rest of the students who have been claimed by Anand Kumar to be his belong to other coaching institutes. Kumar had promised them hefty money as scholarship to be part of his conspiracy." These students also claim that when aspirants came to Anand Kumar to join his classes, he asked them to join Ramanuj Classes so that they will be selected from there based on their performance. In the process, Kumar would take Rs 1 crore annually from these classes.
With these allegations, while also considering the fact that Kumar recently created ruckus at a police station, the question is does Anand Kumar cut a sympathetic figure? For this is very important when Hrithik Roshan's film on his life comes out next year. The movie is directed by Vikas Bahl and is scheduled to release on January 26, 2019. The shooting is already underway, and Hrithik Roshan has immersed himself into the look and the body language of the character. So if the allegations come out to be true, we don't think Hrithik would want to be associated with such a movie.
However, no official case has been registered till now based on these allegations, so we have to wait and watch!
