Earlier talking about the film, Vidya had said to PTI, “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.”

Directed by Anu Menon, the film has been bankrolled by Sony Pictures Networks Productions and Vikram Malhotra. It also stars Sanya Malhotra, Amit Sadh and Jisshu Sengupta in pivotal roles. The film will hit the OTT platform on July 31.
