Bollywood’s super talented Vidya Balan will soon be seen in her next project playing the character of Human Computer Shakuntala Devi. This biopic will be produced by Vikram Malhotra’s Abundantia Entertainment and will be directed by Anu Menon.
Shakuntala Devi was a Mathematical Wizard who was called ‘Human Computer’ due to her speed in calculation in Maths. At the age of 5 she solved a maths problem of an 18year old student even without any guidance. She hasn’t just given great books, excelled in Astrology and Maths but has also got herself named in Guinness Book of World Records in the year 1982.
Vidya who will now play this great role said – “She’s superexcited to paly this role. Shakuntala didn’t just embraced her personality but also became one of the strong feminist. But the most fascinating part is that, Math is never associated with Fun, but Shakuntala changed it and how?”
Further Vidya said – “She’s thrilled to work with Vikram again after her film Kahani. That Vikram, Anu and she feel proud to bring about story of Indias’ most inspiring woman. And the fact that ‘The Human Computer’ or ‘The Math Wizard’ who conquered the world actually belongs to a small town of India’.
