Hrithik Roshan and mathematician Anand Kumar went viral on the Internet.
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. Mr Kumar selects 30 students from economically weaker sections every year and prepares them for the Joint Entrance Exam, which is the first step to get through Indian Institute of Technology.
Anand Kumar, in a statement to news agency PTI, 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 (Hrithik) 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," reported PTI.
"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.
