Watch the trailer here:

The trailer of this biopic starts with a question by the former president of India, APJ Abdul Kalam, to a group of students. While many express their wishes to become doctors, IAS officers, engineers, and more, Srikanth Bolla (played by Rajkumar) expresses his desire to become the first visually challenged president of India. This brings laughter to the whole classroom, but Kalam is impressed. The video also portrays some of the toughest phases he had to endure since childhood, from bullying to rejection.
The real struggle began when he was unable to choose his favorite subject, Science, as an option after the 12th board exams. Due to limitations in the education system for visually impaired individuals, he had to enroll in an arts college. Throughout this time, Srikanth receives support from his teacher, portrayed by Jyotika. He strives hard to gain admission to top universities worldwide.
Later, he decides to start a startup that provides jobs for many impaired people. Alaya F’s character is also featured in the trailer.

Srikanth Bolla is a successful entrepreneur and the founder of Bollant Industries, which provides employment opportunities to unskilled and differently-abled people. Born visually impaired in 1992 in Hyderabad.
In the final part of the video, Rajkumar can be seen preventing a person from giving money to visually impaired beggars at a traffic stop. Instead, he asks for the money, saying, ‘Give me the money; I will give them a job’.
While sharing the trailer, Rajkummar wrote, “Trailer Out Now. Embark on a journey where every moment becomes extraordinary through Srikanth’s vision! #Srikanth releases in cinemas on May 10, 2024.”
Rajkummar and the real-life Srikanth recently met, and the behind-the-scenes video of the duo from the sets of ‘Srikanth’ was truly heartwarming.
