Bihar’s government on Monday 15 July announced that Hrithik Roshan-starrer Super 30, based on the life of Patna-based Mathematics teacher Anand Kumar will be tax-free in the state from Tuesday. The film was released in theatres on 12 July.
Anand feels the move will help more people to watch the film. Super 30 addresses and acknowledges the importance of teachers in the building and strengthening of society.
"Thanks a lot to CM Nitish Kumarji and Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modiji making 'Super 30' tax-free. It will help more and more people see the film @iHrithik @RelianceEnt @NGEMovies @Shibasishsarkar #super30," Anand tweeted.
Hrithik retweeted Anand, writing "This is amazing Anand Sir...thank you CM Nitish Kumar and Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi for this."
The announcement came a few days after Sushil Modi had gone to a city theatre along with his wife to watch the movie on the very day of its release and lavished praise on the biopic.
The movie is getting rave reviews for Hrithik’s performance, who appears sporting a dark tan and a rugged beard and speaks in typical Bihari accent in order to resemble Anand, who runs in his successful coaching institute the renowned "Super 30" group wherein talented youths from unprivileged backgrounds are provided free of cost tuitions for the coveted Joint Entrance Examinations.
Anand’s charitable venture claims to have churned out hundreds of successful IIT aspirants since it was established nearly two decades ago.
Super 30 has collected over Rs 50 crore at the box office within three days of its release
