The greek-god of Bollywood Hrithik Roshan has given a special treat to his fans by signing the biopic of mathematician genius Anand Kumar titled Super 30.

Since the movie is now all set to hit the floors, casting director Mukesh Chhabra was in the hunt for the actors who can play Hrithik Roshan’s students. Reportedly, 15,000 artists auditioned for student characters. Director Vikas Bahl and casting director Mukesh Chhabra have filtered the list to 78 artists. The makers are now conducting workshops with these 78.

Mukesh Chhabra has previously discovered nine kids for Vikas Bahl’s Chillar Party which was co-directed by Nitesh Tiwari. Talking about the Super 30 audition process, Mukesh Chhabra informed DNA, “We want to cast kids in the age group of 15-17 and have auditioned over 15,000 already. The hunt started a few months ago after zeroing in on potential actors from Bihar, Varanasi, Bhopal, Mumbai and Delhi. After a series of selections, we brought the number down to 400, then, 200, 150 and now, 78 kids are finalised, with whom we are conducting workshops for the final 30 that we hope to finalise in a month’s time.
