Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan is all set to feature in his upcoming Anand Kumar biopic titled 'Super 30'. The 'Super 30' concept is based on a free tutorial to coach 30 bright underprivileged students from Bihar, for the IIT entrance test. However, the co-founder of the cause, Abhayanand is now upset that the film has no mention of him. A source revealed, “There’s no mention of Abhayanand in the film. Anand wants to portray himself as the sole founder of Super 30. In fact, there was also a meeting with Hrithik before he signed the film but apparently, nothing about Abhayanand or his contribution was discussed.”

Abhayanand, who is the former DGP in Bihar, said, “I would term Hrithik’s film a work of fiction. If the main ingredients of your story are missing and far away from the truth, how is it a biopic? How can you ignore facts and make a film? The makers have based it on a biography by Anand. He hasn’t mentioned me there, which is why they think I don’t exist in the picture.” When asked if he's upset with Anand for not crediting him at all, he said, “If he wants to go ahead and lie, let him do so. His film won’t run in Bihar as he’s cheating the people of the state, who know the truth.” He also addressed Hrithik and said, “The actor should find out the truth himself. He should go incognito or send his team to Patna and find out the facts from locals.” We wonder how Hrithik will react to this. Stay tuned for more updates.
