Anand said he even met the director Anurag Basu, who is making the film, in Patna twice for the movie.
"The storyline would be based on my life, foundation of Super 30 as well as the success of the 331 under-privileged students of my institute from remote areas of Bihar, who cracked the IIT joint entrance examination and went on to be employed in top posts across the world," Kumar said.

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachhan had also enacted the character of Anand in the film 'Arakshan'.
