Hrithik Roshan signs his first biopic, to play a mathematician in Vikas Bahl's next

If he donned the cape of a superhero in Krrish, he played a blind man who seeks revenge for the death of his wife in Sanjay Gupta's Kaabil. In a career spanning over 17 years, Hrithik Roshan has portrayed a variety of characters on screen.

Now, the 43-year-old actor is set to make his debut in the biopic genre. After a mini-break, Hrithik has finally signed his next film. Junior Roshan will turn a math wizard for Vikas Bahl's film tentatively titled Super 30.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Hrithik's next is on the life of Patna-based mathematician Anand Kumar.

Kumar runs the famed Super 30 program for IIT aspirants in Patna. The 44-year-old mathematician coaches economically backward students for IIT-JEE. It all began in 2002 when Kumar started the program with the aim to groom IIT aspirants who couldn't afford the tuition fees. And fifteen years later, Kumar is still busy preparing the aspirants for a bright future.

The report suggests that the film traces Anand's rise to fame as the founder of the Super 30 program.

Hrithik, who is currently planning a week long holiday with sons Hrehaan and Hridhaan to the US, will begin prepping up for the film as soon as he returns to Mumbai.
