Even
as
several
Dalit
organisations
and
political
parties
are
up
in
arms
against
the
film,
Aarakshan
starring
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Deepika
Padukone,
Bihar
Chief
Minister
Nitish
Kumar
conveyed
his
best
wishes
to
the
makers
of
the
film.
For
his
role
as
a
college
professor
in
Prakash
Jha's
Aarakshan,
Amitabh
learned
the
body
language
from
maths
wizard
Anand
Kumar.
So,
Bihar
Chief
Minister
Nitish
Kumar
told
Jha
and
Amitabh,
who
called
on
him
last
evening,
“You
hijacked
our
Anand,
a
math
wizard,
for
your
Anand
in
your
film
Aarakshan." He
added,
“I
have
the
best
wishes
for
the
film."
Prakash
Jha
had
earlier
said,
“I
am
really
thankful
to
Anand
Kumar
for
his
sincere
efforts
in
helping
me
to
direct
the
maths
coaching
portion
of
the
film.
Kumar
accepted
with
humility
my
request
to
him
to
come
to
Mumbai
and
coach
me
in
mathematics.
It
has
been
an
exciting
experience.
It
becomes
very
easy
for
me
to
direct
Amit
Ji
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
for
the
maths
teaching
scene.
I
am
really
indebted
to
Kumar
for
the
way
he
coached
me."
Anand
Kumar
started
the
Ramanujan
School
of
Mathematics
for
the
poor
children
after
he
failed
to
go
to
Cambridge
University
due
to
financial
constraint.
He
then
set
up
Super
30,
where
he
provides
free
education,
food
and
lodging
to
30
talented
students
from
underprivileged
sections
of
the
society
for
the
IIT-JEE.
236
students
have
qualified
in
the
last
nine
years.
