A biopic on visually impaired industrialist Srikanth Bolla to be portrayed on the big screen by Rajkummar Rao and to be produced by Bhushan Kumar

Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani deliver audiences a compelling tale of Srikanth Bolla. Starring Rajkummar Rao and directed by Tushar Hiranandani, Srikanth Bolla is a biopic of an industrialist who didn’t let his visual impairment come in the way of his vision and founded Bollant Industries spearheaded by Ravi Kanth Mantha. This inspiring story is penned by Sumit Purohit and Jagdeep Sidhu, and the shoot in this movie will begin in July 2022. Hailing from a small, nondescript village in rural Andhra Pradesh, Srikanth Bolla has confronted adversities and conquered challenges. Born blind to poor, uneducated parents, Srikanth has confronted monstrous competition and conflict early in life right from his birth to fighting long-standing legal warfare with the state after class 10 to choose science stream. However, Srikanth constantly had larger dreams, he not only cleared his 10th and 12th standard exams with flying colours but also managed to be the first worldwide blind scholar to study at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA.

A strong, trailblazing visionary as he firmly believes that vision is a whole lot more than eyesight, and has to do more with the mind! Talking about such a superb personality with an inspiring tale, Bhushan Kumar, Managing Director and Chairman of T-Series says, “Srikanth Bolla’s story testifies the very proverb of acing against the odds. Having faced so many challenges since birth, yet not letting anything hamper his dreams – his journey is truly inspirational. And it’s indeed a privilege to be associated with a person like him. The personality of this character is such that only an actor of a caliber like Rajkummar Rao can justify it and we are happy to have such a fine actor on board. Tushar Hiranandani’s vision to showcase this captivating story is very peculiar. As we are thrilled to make this film, we are equally excited for the audiences to witness this compelling story of Srikanth!”

Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani and Tushar Hiranandani say, “The minute we learnt about Sri’s story we decided that this inspiring story needs to reach the masses and what can be a better medium than cinema. We are truly blessed to be working with such powerhouses like Rajkummar Rao and Bhushan Ji for this project. We really hope that Sri’s journey really tugs the heartstrings of the audiences just like it did for all of us.”

Talking about his person, Rajkummar Rao adds, “Srikanth Bolla is an inspiration! It’s indeed a privilege to play such an inspiring persona who has been through a lot of hardships and despite that has risen like a phoenix! I am really looking forward to playing Srikant. I’m happy to collaborate with Bhushan sir yet again on this compelling project.”
