Now the situation of the virus is slowly improving in China with the country lifting its month-long lockdown in Wuhan, earlier in April. Once the sitiation is normal, Vikas Bahl's film, Super 30 satrring Hrithik Roshan will be the first film from Bollywood to take on the Chinese box-office after coronavirus pandemic. The movie also features Mrunal Thakur in lead roles and narrates the real-life story of the mathematician Anand Kumar who lead his students to succeed at IIT entrance exams.
Reliance Entertainment Group CEO Shibashish Sarkar confirmed the news to Bollywood Hungama. “Super 30 was applied for censorship in China. As and when the country and the industry open up, it will first get censored. And then it’ll get a release in the country,” he told the website.

Super 30 was a super success and crossed the coveted Rs 100 crore mark in India. It was also declared tax-free in several states, including Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. In an interview, speaking about the film, Hrithik had said, "You know, the truth is that if this film hadn’t worked, there would have been a great disappointment since I believed in it so much. It would have disempowered me. There were days when I thought this film would never work and that maybe others were right while I had gone wrong. But at the same time, I was charged that I have felt a germ in the film, and I won’t let go of that."
