By Aman Shukla

Rajkummar Rao is good to go to bring the inspiring story of Srikanth Bolla, a visually impaired industrialist, to the big screen.

The movie, tentatively titled ‘Srikanth Bolla’, has been written by Sumit Purohit and Jagdeep Sidhu, and will be directed by Tushar Hiranandani, who prior directed ‘Saand Ki Aankh’.

Speaking about his character, Rajkummar Rao said, “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.”

“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,” Kumar said in a statement.

The film backed by Bhushan Kumar and Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani, will go on floors in July 2022.
