National Award winning actor Rajkummar who is known for his remarkable performances in the past, does full justice to the role of Srikanth Bholla. In the first look, Rajkummar Rao's character Srikanth is seen crossing a finishing line of a track race and it shows his courage and determination to cross any hurdle life throws at him despite not being able to see the world.

Srikanth Bholla was an industrialist who defied all odds to became successful despite being visually impaired.

You can hear the famous song from Aamir Khan's debut movie "Papa Kehte Hain Bada Naam Karega" from 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak'.  The song will make you nostalgic.

As soon as Rajkummar shared the first poster, his friend and actress Bhumi Pednekar wrote: "Love love love."

Mukesh Chabra wrote: "Yeh wala Rajkumar I was missing OG"

Tara Sutaria also dropped a heart emoji in the comment section.

Fans also dropped comments praising the actor and wished him luck for his big release.

The story of 'Srikanth' is inspired from the life of industrialist Srikanth Bholla, who despite being visually impaired went on to establish Bollant Industries.

Directed by Tushar Hiranandani, 'Srikanth - Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne' has been produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani.

Rajkummar is also shooting for his upcoming movie 'Mr and Mrs Mahi' with Janhvi Kapoor which is being directed by Sharan Sharma of 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl'.
