Vidya on being part of the film said:
“I am extremely excited to play the ‘human computer’ Shakuntala Devi on the big screen. She was truly someone who embraced her individuality, had a strong feminist voice and braved many a naysayer to reach the pinnacle of success.”
“But what truly fascinates me is that you wouldn’t normally associate a fun person with math…and she completely turns that perception on its head.”
The movie is directed by Anu Menon and stars Amit Sadh, Sanya Malhotra and Jisshu Sengupta in other pivotal roles.
