Many described her "sharp, arrogant, eccentric, ruthless, witty, outspoken, Ma Genius", but for us she will always be Shakuntala Devi. The new teaser of the Shakuntala Devi biopic, starring Vidya Balan, gives us a glimpse inside the life of the woman we've known as the Human Computer.
The teaser also tells us that unlike most children, Shakuntala Devi learnt maths a little...differently. With the saree and the identical hairstyle, Balan looks identical to the maverick.

Vidya Balan had earlier told PTI about the film, "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."
