Tushar Hiranandani’s directorial, biographical movie ‘Srikanth’ in which Rajkummar Rao has performed impactful role of Srikanth Bolla has released on May 10, 2024. His acting is highly appreciated for the legitimate portrayal of the blind industrialist Srikanth Bolla. In movie, Jyothika is playing role of his inspiring teacher and the role of his loving girlfriend is played by Alaya Furniturewala.
Rajkummar Rao is one of the finest actors in Hindi film Industry. To portray the role of Srikanth Bolla in his biopic ‘Srikanth’, Rajkummar closely observed Srikanth and his throughout journey. Also, as and if needed Rajkummar has discussed many things with Srikanth such as his mannerism and many questions about his life before portray the role.
The movie’s tagline, “Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhen Kholne”, perfectly summarizes Srikanth’s life journey, that after overcoming all the obstacles, he became successful and an inspiration for all.
Experience of Rajkummar Rao about doing this biopic
When asked to Rajkummar Rao that how is the experience of doing this biopic, he replied that, “It is very fascinating to play a role who exists in real life, to portray his life on screen but at the same time it is the responsibility of an actor also, to portray a person who is very much alive and to whom people know very well, because people watch the movie and compare the acting with the original person.”
Srikanth Bolla’s Reaction on this Movie:
Bolla posted a reel on his Instagram account expressing his gratitude for the biopic with a heartfelt caption , “The first thing that happened was quite surprising. I forgot that the movie was about my life and I indulged like every other intrigued viewer, rooting for the hero. Storytelling, dialogue delivery, acting, everything seems so amazing. No unnecessary melodrama, just a simple, engrossing narrative that feels very unique amongst any other biopics that I know of. The first half is more about the rollercoasters that happened to have with my life, learning to be more than what the society expects me too. The second half felt like the more human side of me was captured with every second carrying deeper emotions.
Why do I call it a benchmark? As we all know, the way blind people have always been portrayed not only in Indian cinema but across the world, never did the justice to the life of a visually impaired and today I witnessed the dramatic shift that comes along with Raj’s flavourful acting. The second benchmark was set up by putting up a positive protagonist role for a visually impaired person unlike the usual side roles.
Tushar is a man of resilience and passion. He has delivered way beyond what he initially promised me. He has created something that will remain as an etch in the hearts of the audience and a mark in the history of Indian Cinema. I hope this movie serves as a beacon of hope for everyone including the parents of differently abled children, the underprivileged people and anyone who seems to lose hope in life.
Congratulations to the whole team for creating 135 minutes of absolute brilliance. Everyone I know is appreciating your efforts and is amazed by Raj’s acting and Tushar’s direction. I think people in India and across the world should get ready for a happy cinematic experience.
Now that the movie is out, I am extremely humbled that my story has reached millions of hearts across the world. This special day comes along with a promise that I have made to myself for always upholding the hope that this movie will give.
Miles to go before I sleep, Miles to go Before I sleep!”
Srikanth Bolla dedicated song to his lovely wife Veera Swathi
Industrialist Bolla dedicates a romantic song of this movie on an Instagram post captioned, “Being an entrepreneur I am guilty of marrying my work. To love someone was like an alien concept not present in my dictionary. Only Swathi knows my failure in understanding her emotions sometimes or cheering her up when she is upset. Yet she forgives me and loves me unconditionally every single day.
Finding the right partner is one of those special successes that I attribute to my loving wife. She supports and cheers me in all my good and bad phases. I dedicate this song to her for making me a loving human every day.”
