Kabir Khan replaces Vikas Bahl as director of Hrithik Roshan's Super 30
After Vikas Bahl was barred from overseeing the post production of upcoming Hrithik Roshan-starrer Super 30, Bajrangi Bhaijan director Kabir Khan has stepped in to finish the film's edit, reports Filmfare.
Bahl was dropped from the film after an anonymous employee of his production house Phantom Films came forward with a harassment complaint that led to the dissolution of the company itself.
Kabir Khan, who's working on other projects with Phantom Films, has been brought in to wrap up the film.
A spokesperson for the film reportedly said, “It is not a small thing for any renowned director to step in at this last hour to complete a film. But Kabir, who is already working on another big biopic ’83 for the same producers (Phantom Films) saw the gravity of the situation."
It's reported that Kabir has been tasked with completing the film by January 2019.

The spokesperson also said, "Super 30 has so far shaped up into a finely-honed biopic. To leave it unfinished would be doing disservice to the good work that [mathematician] Anand Kumar has been doing, and to the cause of aesthetic cinema as well.”
Super 30 will follow journey of mathematician, Anand Kumar, and how he trains 30 capable yet lesser privileged students for the prestigious entrance examination for the Indian Institute of Technology, and succeeds. He now has an educational programme called Super 30.
