Interesting facts

Srikanth is a 2024 Indian Hindi-language biographical film on the life of Srikanth Bolla, a visually-impaired industrialist and the founder of Bollant Industries. Starring Rajkummar Rao in the title role, it is directed by Tushar Hiranandani and co-stars Jyothika, Alaya F and Sharad Kelkar.

Production

A biopic on the life of Srikanth Bolla was announced in January 2022, with Rajkummar Rao in the lead. The film was initially titled SRI, which was later changed to Srikanth. The film's director Tushar revealed that the first film he wanted to make was about Srikanth Bolla, but this was not possible as Bolla was too busy with his work to find time to meet him. Then he approached Bolla through his business partner, Ravi Mantha.

Principal photography commenced in November 2022, and filming concluded in January 2023. Jyothika made a comeback to Hindi cinema with the film. She had initially rejected her role, but later agreed to do the film after being convinced by her husband, Suriya. To prepare for the role during filming, lead actor Rajkummar Rao wore special lens from morning till evening.
