'Srikanth' directed by Tushar Hiranandani is a biopic on the life of visually impaired industrialist Srikanth Bolla. Featuring Rajkummar Rao and Alaya F in leading roles, the film has been generating significant buzz ever since the trailer was released.

In an interview with PTI, Rajkummar Rao recalled his surreal first meeting with Srikanth Bolla. "He (Srikanth Bolla) is witty, confident, go-getter and loves talking... I was totally zapped because he's so confident about everything in life. Sometimes I would ask him (director Hiranandani) that 'Are you sure he's blind because he comes across as if he is way more normal than us'," Rajkummar said.

The highly anticipated Srikanth Bolla Biopic, aptly titled 'Srikanth', is slated to release on May 10, 2024. Scheduled to hit the screens during the summer vacation period, the film stands out as one of the few feature films to grace theaters during this time. With its release strategically timed, the makers of 'Srikanth' are optimistic about its prospects, placing considerable emphasis on positive word-of-mouth to drive its success.
