Super 30 to go into production from December

Super 30, a film on the life of Anand Kumar - a mathematics genius from a modest family in Bihar, will go into production from December, and is scheduled for release on November 23 of next year.

Backed by Reliance Entertainment and Phantom Films, and directed by Vikas Bahl, the film will star Hrithik Roshan in the lead role.

Shibasish Sarkar, Chief Operation Officer, Reliance Entertainment, said in a statement: "Super 30 is a great human story about struggle and inspiration that we want to portray on the big screen. The film will go in production from December and we are sure the audience will appreciate this incredible film when it releases next year."

Kumar is known for his Super 30 programme to help students crack IIT entrance tests. The mathematician is confident it will be a "heartfelt film" and says that he has "full faith" in Hrithik's capabilities.
