In February Hrithik Roshan starts shooting for his bio-pic on the Patna-based mathematics genius Anand Kumar. Except, the film Super 30 won't be shot in Patna initially but in Varanasi. Revealing details a source adds that producer Madhu Mantena and director Vikas Bahl wanted to shoot in Patna.

MollywoodRoopesh had apologised for his post but a complaint was filed against him nevertheless.Digital Native nivin_roopesh.jpgFilmmaker Roopesh Peethambaran’s post on a social networking site taking a jibe Richie, the Tamil remake of the Kannada hit movie Ulidavaru Kandante, has not gone down too well with film buffs, particularly Nivin Pauly fans. Roopesh had posted on his Facebook page, “It’s pretty hard to imagine how a masterpiece turned into a piece.” Not happy with this comment, the makers of Richie have filed a complaint against him at the Kerala Producers Association. And in retaliation, Roopesh Peethambaran has threatened legal action against everyone who has tarnished his image, including Vinod Shornur, Anand Payyanur, Nivin Pauly and some media outlets.

His Facebook post later read, “I realize that impulsive reaction was a mistake which hurt a lot of people. That was never my intention. I apologise for the pain I may have caused due to this. I am sorry.” Directed by Gautham Ramachandran, the film is the remake of the Kannada hit movie, Ulidavaru Kandanthe, written and directed Rakshit Shetty. The film stars Nivin Pauly in the lead role with Natarajan Subramaniam, Shraddha Srinath, Lakshmi Priyaa Chandramouli, Prakash Raj, Raj Bharath, Tulasi, Aadukalam Murugadoss, Elango Kumaravel, G. K.

Hrithik Roshan might just have chosen extra ordinary super powers over some math skills when it comes to signing his next film. According to a few reports, Hrithik Roshan, who was supposed to be a part of a biopic on maths genius, Anand Kumar, which was to be directed by Queen director Vikas Bahl has ditched the project in favour of his home production, Krrish 4. However, Roshan hasn’t just left the film but delayed working on the much anticipated biopic by a year because his father’s film is a priority for him. A source close to the actor reveals: "The script is being worked on. Though Hrithik has agreed to do the movie, the paperwork is yet to be done. Since Rakesh Roshan is in the last leg of scripting [for] Krrish 4, Hrithik wants to start prep for that film first. His father's film is his first priority.
