'Super 30' directed by Vikas Bahl chronicles the life story of India's mathematician-educationalist Anand Kumar. The mathematical genius based in Bihar opens an institute to teach the underprivileged children. Under the 'Super 30' initiative, Anand trained Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) aspirants crack the entrance exam to the prestigious institutes.

Netizens have made the connection between Bihar's 'Super 30' and Rajasthan's Kota town which is a capital-of-sorts for IIT coaching, where students arrive in droved each year to settle in for two years of grueling Physics, Chemistry, and Maths.  

Meanwhile, the film is also appreciated by the Vice President of the country, Venkaiah Naidu. The Vice President said he was ‘deeply moved’ by the story of Anand Kumar, the mathematician-educationist and founder of Super 30, on whom the movie is based on. Naidu also stated that he was impressed with the performance of Hrithik and the supporting cast while congratulating the makers for showcasing the ‘missionary zeal’ of the teacher.
