SRIKANTH is the story of a man’s incredible journey. On July 13, 1992, Srikanth (Rajkummar Rao) is born to Damodar Bolla (Srivinas Beesetty) and Venkatamma Bolla (Anusha Nuthula) at Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The parents are devastated as Srikanth is born blind. Yet, Damodar and Venkatamma ensure he gets educated. He’s enrolled in… a primary school in their village. Srikanth is smart and is able to grasp the study material easily. Realizing that it won’t be possible for him to study in the village school until Class 10, he’s admitted to Asha School for Blind, Hyderabad after a few years. Here, a teacher named Devika (Jyotika) supports Srikanth and improves his performance in school. After passing Class 10, he decides to opt for the Science stream. But as per the rules, visually impaired students can’t opt for Science. Hence, Srikanth goes to court and wins the case, making it easier for many blind students to now opt for the stream. When he tries to get admission to IIT, he once again faces a roadblock. This is when Devika recommends that he should try applying internationally. Srikanth soon gets a scholarship at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. He studies there and falls in love with life in the States. After completing his studies, he moves to India. As expected, he realizes that there are no jobs for blind educated and even computer-literate people. Srikanth, hence, decides to create his own system rather than changing the existing system. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
