Who is Srikant Bolla?

Written by Jagdeep Sidhu and Sumit Purohit, and pictured by Pratham Mehta, SRI is a biopic of an industrialist Srikanth Bolla who didn't let his visual impairment come in the way of his vision and founded Bollant Industries. Srikanth was born to poor, uneducated parents in a very small village in Arunachal Pradesh. Visually impaired from birth, Srikanth had to face a lot of challenges throughout his life. He had to fight his way through schooling too. With big dreams and a never say never attitude, he completed school with top grades and became the first international blind student to study at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA.

The movie is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar & Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani.
