Amitabh Bachhan and Saif Ali Khan have learnt teaching skills in mathematics from Bihar’s Super 30 founder Anand Kumar.
Bollywood director Prakash Jha, whose recent movie ‘Aarakshan’ revolves around the subject of education, had sought Anand’s help in imparting teaching skills to Big B and Saif.
The math wizard shot a video at Jha’s office in Mumbai. Anand conducted three to four simulated classes at Jha’s office over a period of two days in December last year.
In the film, Big B plays the role of Prabhakar Anand, who is the principal of a college which does not abide by the government’s regulations on caste-based reservation. Moved by the plight of poor children, Amitabh Bachchan, in the film, decides to coach students from underprivileged background in his free time. Saif Ali Khan also teaches at this school.
