Skimming through the final edit of his soon-to-release documentary, Abhayanand: The Cop With a Chalk, Sujit Singh says he is caught in a "moral dilemma". The subject of his film is Patna's former Director General of Police, Abhayanand. It's a project he started after much deliberation in 2017, when Patna-based educator and mathematician Anand Kumar refused to give credit to the police officer for setting up the educational programme, Super 30, the famed IIT coaching centre for the underprivileged.
The centre that was launched in 2002 caught the attention of producer-director Vikas Bahl. While his film, starring Hrithik Roshan, is already on the floors, and delves into Kumar's life, Singh decided to tell Kumar's partner's story. "I have spent the last few months travelling in and around Patna, to find out how Abhayanand was both, an efficient policeman and a passionate tutor," Singh says when we meet him at his Thane residence.
