“I have full faith in his capabilities. I am very happy because he is the best choice for the role. I’ve seen his work and the kind of versatility and range that he exhibits as an actor is very strong. I am a rooted guy, so I feel some level of emotional quotient is required to live my life on screen. I have seen that in Hrithik — on and off screen,” he said.

“I can totally trust Vikas Bahl with my life’s story as I’m confident he will make a heartfelt film out of my story,” he added.

By 2017, 396 out of his 450 students had successfully made it to the IITs. A documentary made by BBC channel featured Anand and his achievements.
