'We
Felt
It
Was
Our
Own
Teacher'
Talking
about
how
Hrithik
has
done
justice
to
his
portrayal,
his
students
shared,
"Watching
the
trailer,
we
all
felt
it
was
our
own
teacher
playing
the
character
on
screen."
Anand
Kumar
Reacts
To
Hrithik's
Performance
Hrithik
has
played
me
on
reel
with
exuberance,
there
is
not
an
iota
of
doubt
about
it.
My
students
endorse
Hrithik's
performances
to
the
T,
" said
Anand
Kumar.
Anand
Kumar's
Mother
Was
Teary-Eyed
After
Watching
The
Trailer
"When
I
was
selecting
Hrithik
Roshan,
everyone
laughed
at
me
saying
that
he
looks
like
a
Greek
god
and
I
must
select
someone
who
could
look
the
part.
But
when
I
met
him,
he
said
that
this
film
is
very
difficult
and
I
will
take
time
to
even
get
into
your
character.
He
spoke
to
me.
He
sat
with
me
for
hours
and
hours.
When
the
trailer
came
out,
my
mother
was
teary
eyed.
My
brother
was
also
astonished.
I
have
a
two-year-old
daughter
who
jumped
in
excited
saying,
"Papa,
papa,"
recalled
Kumar
in
an
interview
with
Quint.
The
Mathematician
Claimed
He
Chose
The
Director
&
Actor
For
His
Film
"Whenever
there's
a
biopic
filmmakers
take
rights
for
the
story.
Then
they
visit
their
homes,
understand
the
story
and
write.
But
my
case
was
different.
I
chose
them.
Not
just
the
script,
but
who
will
direct
it,
who
will
act.
I
decided
everything.
And
I
have
worked
with
them
on
the
script
of
the
film.
I
used
to
end
up
in
heated
discussions
with
Vikas
Bahl
and
Sanjeev
Dutta.
I
didn't
want
any
fiction
in
the
story.
Whatever's
the
real
truth
should
be
out
there."
