I agree - what was the need
After gripping the nation with the trail of posters and the recent motion poster, Hrithik Roshan starrer Super 30 trailer is finally out and Hrithik Roshan is yet again spilled his magic with his sheer brilliance as an actor.
The trailer of Super 30 showcases the journey of Hrithik Roshan who trains the 30 students to embark the highest peak of their life. The eyes stuck over the Hrithik Roshan as he has not only nailed the character but Hrithik has got into the soul of the character of Anand Kumar.
Sharing the much-awaited trailer, Hrithik Roshan took to his social media handle and shared the trailer of Super 30. The actor captioned the post, "Not all Superheroes wear capes. It’s the ideas that make a nation. It's the people who empower it. Presenting one such story from the heartland of India #Super30Trailer"
The first look of the film itself had created an immense buzz amongst the audience with Hrithik’s de-glam look winning appreciation from all across. With the shift of release, Super 30 has built an enormous curiosity base in the country where the trailer is being widely awaited.
On his recent visit to China for the release of his movie ‘Kaabil’, Hrithik expressed, “Super 30 is something that talks about the power and the value of education and teachers. And, I think that is another place where I think there is a similarity between China and India as both these countries give a lot of respect to teachers. The teachers form the top of the societal chain in both these worlds.”
The social media has been restless to finally catch the moving glimpse of their superstar. A story of the triumph of spirit, Hrithik will be reprising the role of a Mathematician, Anand Kumar who trains students for IIT-JEE in Bihar. The movie also features Mrunal Thakur alongside Hrithik in the most awaiting release of the year.
After previously promising projects, Hrithik is ready to bring yet another stellar portrayal on the screens with an inspiring storyline with Super 30, set to release on July 12, 2019.
IIT-G students file PIL against Super 30 founder Anand Kumar, call him fraud

Four months before the release of a biopic on his life starring Hrithik Roshan, Patna-based mathematician Anand Kumar has found himself at the centre of yet another controversy. Four students of IIT Guwahati have claimed that Anand Kumar, the founder of coaching institute Super 30, is a fraud.
On September 21, the Guwahati High Court issued a notice to Kumar, the founder of the educational programme 'Super 30', to reply to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by the students. Senior advocate Ashok Saraf, appearing for the four IIT students, submitted before the court that, "Because of the wrong projection given by Anand Kumar each year a large number of students from the Northeast and other parts of the country approach him with full faith and hope that Anand Kumar, who seems to be an IIT Baba, will help them in qualifying the IIT entrance exam."
"But after reaching there, Anand Kumar makes the students take admission in his coaching institute, namely Ramanujam School of Mathematics, by charging Rs 33,000 per student in the name of teaching them," Saraf said.
Founded in 2002, Patna's Super 30 claims that it selects 30 meritorious students each year from economically backward sections of society and provides them free coaching for the IIT entrance examination. The institute made headlines in 2008 with 100 per cent success rate in the IIT-Joint Entrance Exam (IIT-JEE). Though the institute started to make a mark in 2004, it was for the first time in 2008 that all 30 students picked up for Super-30 batch qualified the IIT JEE. The group also made it to the Time Magazine in 2010.
Amit Goyal, who is the advocate-on-record for the petitioners, said it is mentioned in the PIL that "Most of the time, Anand Kumar travels to different places in the country and outside India. He does not devote sufficient time to the IIT aspirants who took admission in Ramanujam School of Mathematics".

"Upon inquiry by the four IIT-G students it was revealed that after 2008, Anand Kumar is not running any so-called 'Super 30' classes. Whenever IIT entrance exam results are announced, Kumar appears before the media with some students of the Ramanujam School of Mathematics and other students claiming that they are Super 30 students and have qualified in the IIT entrance exam," Goyal said.
Saraf submitted before the court that the false propaganda created by Anand Kumar is not only cheating IIT aspirants and their guardians but also others.
"Wrong information has been uploaded by Wikipedia on its website in an unedited version and the same is also published by a national newspaper and it is easily available on social media," Goyal said.
According to the petition, this year too, Anand Kumar has claimed that 26 out of 30 students from his 'Super 30' group have cleared the IIT entrance exam. "But till now, he has not disclosed the names of the 26 students who had qualified for the IIT entrance," he said.
The Guwahati High Court also issued a notice to former Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Abhiyanand who had co-founded 'Super 30' in 2002. A division bench of the High Court, comprising Chief Justice (acting) Arup Kumar Goswami and Justice Ajit Borthakur, issued the notice to Kumar and directed him to reply to the allegations made in the PIL. The matter will be taken up by the court again after eight weeks.
This is not the first time such allegations have been made against Super 30. In July, a PIL was filed in Patna High Court seeking a CBI probe into the functioning of Kumar's group. High court advocate Manibhushan Pratap Sengar claimed in his petition that Kumar showed students of other institutes as his own. The petition also alleged that he never released the list of students before the IIT exam so it cannot be verified that those students who had qualified were the same ones who had studied at Super 30.
Sengar has sought inquiry into the financial activities, assets and transactions of Super 30 and the Ramanujan Institute of Mathematics at Kumhrar, Patna.
Several former students in the past also claimed that Kumar took a cut from other coaching centres as he passed on students to other institutes.

IF always surprises me or rather shocks me... i watched the trailer and loved it... came here to see unpopular opinions... went back to Youtube to see if I am odd one out.... comments there are very positive and the like ratio is close to 98%
So nice to see this comment. When Kangana is praised on youtube for her interviews and 98% on YT and Twitter are supporting her against HR or other issues while she is bashed here on IF, it is said oh only fans click on her videos hence the positive comments and other such lame explanation is thrown by HR fans. So doesn't the same logic apply even here? 😆
Anyone can see that the film is suffering from Koi mil gaya hangover..its just bland n dun talk about reactions on social media all fanclubs make sure that everytime a trailer releases a great response is given..remember Zero? Those so called records but what happened to the film ultimately we all know..
On the plus side, kids look good..they act well, aditya srivastava is good too..a lack of a heroine may cost the film too..
Anyways all the best to the film...ultimately its the public that decides a Verdict of a film and thats all what matters
The forum should be the last place to gauge a movie's trend. Movies like Rangoon and Manmarziyan were hits here.
The trailer was decent enough but I have to agree darker shade is not working for Hrithik. Makers wrongly associated dark skin tone with uncleanness. They could have at least tamed his hair, that would have at least made the physical appearance more believable. He looks dirty. I doubt real Anand Kumar looked dirty as this.
And as someone said, Hrithik shines more in larger than life or rip-roaring characters. He's got such looks, it's tough to see him act as an average looking man.
Overall, movies seems decent enough to watch. What's the budget? Hope it works well in Hrithik's favour.
LOVE LOVE LOVED IT i am so glad and proud hrithik trying to do diff roles this man ufff etna talent late kaha se ho yaaar he is just too good ..hope the movie works for hrithik sake bas :)
We need more movies like this. Why did they take Hrithik though? His face is weird, even the real-life guy isn't as dark-complexioned. His accent is bad and not connecting with the audience. Even Rishi Kapoor did so much better with Do Dooni Char movie.
Someone like RKR would have nailed it and given it more flair. Hrithik is a complete misfit here and his body language is completely off. Really want this movie to succeed, but not possible with a bad lead actor.
