Hrithik Roshan is basking in the success of his latest release, Super 30. The actor, who was last seen in Kaabil (2017) with Yami Gautam, was seen on the big screens after two years. Super 30 is inspired by the life of mathematician Anand Kumar from Bihar, who mentors thirty underprivileged students for their IIT entrance exams each year. The film did great business at the box office, reportedly Rs 125 crore, and the story tugged at the heartstrings of the audience. The film was also made tax-free in states like Bihar, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.

Hrithik Roshan has been mired in controversies for quite some time now, which made him apprehensive about the results of Super 30. However, the film did well and the release of the teaser of his film, War, at the same time was an added bonus. The teaser is being lauded by viewers and industry insiders. The film is an out-and-out action project that has two heroes, Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff opposite each other. The film has Vaani Kapoor as the female lead in the film.
