"Super30" is based on the remarkable true life story of India's genius mathematician Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) who was born into a very poor family in the Indian state of Bihar. Anand inducts 30 highly underprivileged but academically bright students into his "Super 30" programme every year and coaches them free of cost in an efficiently designed course students to help them crack India's toughest entrance examination of Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).

The film captures the trials and tribulations of Anand's life and the challenges he faced in order to set up his 'Super 30' institute. It is an inspirational story of his struggle and achievement, and how one man makes a difference in the lives of underprivileged students.
