Kabir Khan Steps In To Complete Hrithik Roshan Starrer ‘Super 30’!

The much-discussed film Super 30 got itself into an uncomfortable position when its director Vikas Bahl was accused of sexual misconduct and was immediately asked by its producer Phantom Films and Sajid Nadiadwala, to leave the project. The film’s leading man Hrithik Roshan too seconded the director’s dismissal. The question was how to complete the ambitious project which is already around 90 per cent complete? The dilemma has found a delightful exit, what with the redoubtable Kabir Khan stepping in to complete the ambitious project.

An informed source says, “It is not a small thing for any renowned director to step in at his last hour to complete a film. But Kabir, who is already working on another big bio-pic ’86 for the same producers saw the gravity of the situation. Super 30 has so far shaped up into a finely-honed bio-pic. To leave it unfinished would be doing disservice to the good work that Anand Kumar has been doing, and to the cause of aesthetic cinema as well.” It is understood that Kabir , who has earlier directed hits like Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Ek Tha Tiger, will be required to  “tie up the loose ends” and  do all the post-production work for Super  30.” Incidentally Kabir Khan shares a terrific rapport with Hrithik Roshan. The former will soon be directing the latter in film to be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.

Starring Hrithik and television actress Mrunal Thakur, 'Super 30' is scheduled to release on January 30 and face a clash with Kangana Ranaut's 'Manikarnika: Queen Of Jhansi'. The film will be Phantom Films's last production. It is to be noted that 'Super 30', a biopic-drama is based on the life of Patna-based mathematician Anand Kumar and his educational program Super 30. However, after the mathematician got accused of fraud results this year, the makers reportedly decided to not call their film a biopic anymore. 

The film also stars Nandish Singh, Pankaj Tripathi, Virendra Saxena and Amit Sadh, as narrator.
