It’s truly the season of biopics in Bollywood, the latest one being Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju and others lined up being Mogul – based on the life of music legend Gulshan Kumar. Likewise Hrithik Roshan starrer Super 30 was said to based on the life of mathematician Anand Kumar. We hear that Super 30 may not be a biopic anymore due to controversies surrounding the film.
If the reports are to be believed, Anand Kumar has been targeted for making misleading claims about his foundation Super 30. This sure has come as a big surprise for the makers of the film including director Vikas Bahl and producers Sajid Nadiadwala and Madhu Mantena. It has affected the film in a sense that makers are wary of calling Super 30 a biopic anymore.
A source close to the film informed a daily about the same, “Since the film is in post-production, they are considering removing all references to Anand. While it will revolve around a Math whiz whose coaching institute becomes successful, they will categorically not call it a biopic anymore.”
The alleged controversy revolves around the fact that Anand Kumar claimed that 26 out of his 30 students cleared the IIT – JEE 2018 examination but on being asked to show the credentials for the same, the ace mathematician failed to do so. We still wait to hear an official announcement from Hrithik who plays the lead or the makers of the film on the decision not to call it a biopic anymore.
