The shooting of the movie Super 30, in which Hrithik Roshan plays the role of mathematician Anand Kumar has begun.
Hrithik shared the update in a tweet on Monday and it said, “On the auspicious day of Saraswati Puja and Basant Panchami, I am beginning my journey of Super 30 where I am playing a teacher for the first time. May the Goddess of learning bless this effort.”
Super 30 will trace Patna-based mathematician Anand Kumar's journey to fame as the founder of the Super 30 programme that trains IIT aspirants.
Anand Kumar, in a statement, said that he trusts Vikas Bahl with his life story and he believes that the filmmaker will 'make a heartfelt film.'
Talking about Hrithik portraying him on the big screen, Anand Kumar said, "I am very happy because he is the best choice for the role. I've seen his work and the kind of versatility and range that he exhibits as an actor is very strong.”
"I am a rooted guy so I feel some level of emotional quotient is required to live my life on screen. I have seen that in Hrithik - on and off-screen. I have full faith in his capabilities," he added.
