From Sri to Srikanth: A Name Change and a New Release Date
Initially titled “Sri,” the movie has now been renamed “Srikanth.” This change brings the focus directly onto the central character, Srikanth Bholla, played by Rao. The film’s release date has also undergone some adjustments. Originally slated for September 2023, it was then pushed back to February 2024. Now, fans can finally mark their calendars for the official release on May 10th, 2024, a date coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya in India.
“Srikanth” promises to be a powerful and uplifting cinematic experience. The film narrates the extraordinary journey of Srikant Bholla, a visionary industrialist who achieved remarkable success despite facing the challenge of visual impairment. Bholla is known for being the founder of Bollant Industries and also holds the distinction of being the first blind student to graduate with a degree in Management Science from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
