Hrithik Roshan’s film Super 30 is doing a decent business at the box office. The film has garnered immense praise for depicting mathematician Anand Kumar’s inspiring journey. The film has been made tax-free in Bihar as well as Rajasthan and Vice President Venkaiah Naidu also watched it in a special screening with his family. Hrithik plays the role of Kumar in the film who teaches underprivileged children to qualify for IIT-Jee in his batch called ‘Super 30’.
