I'm happy to collaborate with Bhushan sir yet again on this compelling project."
Well, producer Bhushan Kumar also said, "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 calibre like Rajkummar Rao can justify it and we are happy to have such a fine actor on board."
Going with the plot, Srikanth who hails from a small village in rural Andhra Pradesh is born in a poor family being blind. He faced a lot of troubles and was criticised for choosing a science stream after his 10th class. But he didn't stop himself and cleared the tenth and twelfth standard exams with good marks. Then he also managed to get a seat at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA and is the first blind student to study at this prestigious university.
We all need to wait and watch how will Rajkummar impress the audience and showcase the life story of this ace businessman!
