The release date of Vidya Balan’s upcoming film, Shakuntala Devi, has been announced. The film will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video from July 31.
Vidya took to Instagram to announce the news. She wrote, “#ShakuntalaDevi premieres on @PrimeVideoIN on 31st July 2020 (sic).”
The film is based on the life of mathematician Shakuntala Devi, a genius who was discovered at the age of five, when she solved a math problem meant for 18-year-old students.
Though she never received any formal education, her talent for numbers earned her a place in the 1982 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
Talking about the Shakuntala Devi, Vidya earlier said in a statement, “Shakuntala Devi 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.”
Earlier, the makers released the teaser of the film.
Take a look:
Shakuntala Devi is written by Anu Menon along with Nayanika Mahtani, and the dialogues are penned by Ishita Moitra.
