  • To note, Shakuntala Devi was a child prodigy and was known for her incredibly swift calculations.

    The teaser poster also gives us a glimpse of her brilliance, as it shows how she began solving complex mathematical problems at a really tender age.

  • According to media reports, the movie will hit the floors today, and will be shot in London.

    Needless to say, Vidya is excited to essay the role of "the human computer" on the big screen.

    The Parineeta actress had earlier admitted that "her (Shakuntala's) magnetic personality and the life that she led," were the reasons why she gave a nod to the movie.

  • Quote

    "You wouldn't normally associate a fun person with math"

  • "She was truly someone who embraced her individuality, had a strong feminist voice and braved many naysayers to reach the pinnacle of success. But what fascinates me is that you wouldn't normally associate a fun person with math, she completely turns that perception," Vidya added.
