Inspiring biopic Srikanth movie now streaming on Netflix
Hyderabad: A biopic titled Srikanth is now available on Netflix after captivating audiences in theaters earlier this year. The film chronicles the remarkable journey of Srikanth Bolla, a visually impaired industrialist from Hyderabad who defied adversity to become a beacon of inspiration.
Under the direction of Tushar Hiranandani, the film stars Rajkummar Rao in a powerful performance as Bolla Srikanth. Jyothika, Alaya F, and Sharad Kelkar deliver equally compelling supporting roles.
Bolla’s life story exemplifies triumph in the face of immense challenges. Born into a farming family in Seetharamapuram village, Andhra Pradesh, on July 7, 1991, Bolla battled both economic hardship and visual impairment. However, his unwavering determination shone brightly despite these obstacles.
Bolla’s academic path was filled with hurdles. Denied the opportunity to study science in high school and subsequently rejected by IIT coaching institutes, he refused to be deterred. This tenacity ultimately led him to become the first international visually impaired student at the prestigious Sloan School of Management at MIT.
Following graduation, Bolla co-founded Bollant Industries in Hyderabad in 2012. This eco-friendly company focuses on providing packaging solutions and other products, while simultaneously creating employment opportunities for differently-abled individuals.
Bolla Srikanth’s impact extends beyond the realm of business. Recognized by Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30 list in 2017, he is also a dedicated advocate for social causes. He co-founded the Samanvai Center for children with Multiple Disabilities and serves as director of the Surge Impact Foundation, actively working towards achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Lead actor Rajkummar Rao expressed his profound admiration for Bolla’s unwavering spirit.
More than just a cinematic experience, Srikanth stands as a potent tribute to the human spirit’s unwavering resilience in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Filmed across diverse locations in India and the USA between November 2022 and January 2023, the biopic garnered moderate commercial success upon its theatrical release on May 10, 2024, a date coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Akshay Tritiya.
