Hrithik Roshan is riding high on the success of Super 30, which has not only earned him rave reviews but is also doing well at the box office. The film, which released on Friday, has already garnered Rs 50 crores over the weekend and continues to go strong. On the occasion of Guru Purnima, the superstar will be visiting Patna, which also happens to be the hometown of Anand Kumar, on whose life Super 30 is based and whom Hrithik portrayed in the film.

A source close to the Kaabil star, says, “Guru Purnima is a big day for teachers as all the students meet their teachers. Hrithik expressed his wish to meet the students on the auspicious day, as it will be celebrated at Anand’s house. He will meet all the students of the mathematical genius, and spend the day having lunch with him, his family and pupils. The actor lived that life while shooting the film and wants to relive those memories. Visiting Patna is also his way of paying a tribute to the teachers.”

Hrithik confirms and shares, “We are going to Patna on a very special day — Guru Purnima. I am extremely excited and looking forward to the visit.” He leaves for the Bihar capital in the morning.
