Rajkummar Rao set to star in Srikanth Bolla biopic

A biopic based on the life of visually impaired industrialist Srikanth Bolla was announced last week. Starring Rajkummar Rao in the lead role, the movie will be bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series along with Chalk N Cheese Films. The film will see Rao bring Srikanth’s personality to life onscreen as he battled poverty and other adversaries.
Talking about the film, Rao said it would be his honour to get a chance to tell such an inspiring story to millions of people. In a statement, he 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 Srikanth. I’m happy to collaborate with Bhutan sir yet again on this compelling project.”
Director Tushar Hiranandani said he hoped the journey of the industrialist would touch everybody’s heart just like it did his. The biopic is expected to go on floors in July this year.
