Yesterday
(July
15,
2020),
the
trailer
of
Vidya
Balan's
Shakuntala
Devi
was
released
on
YouTube
and
it
left
netizens
quite
impressed!
The
film
is
a
biopic
on
math
genius,
Shakuntala
Devi,
famously
known
as
'The
Human
Computer'
for
her
extraordinary
ability
to
solve
complex
calculations
within
seconds.
After
watching
the
trailer,
netizens
not
only
praised
Vidya's
brilliant
act,
but
also
her
dialogues
like
"why
should
I
be
normal
when
I
can
be
amazing?" The
trailer
has
also
left
many
netizens
coming
up
with
hilarious
memes
and
it
will
surely
tickle
your
funny
bone!
On
a
related
note,
Vidya
spoke
to
media
about
stepping
into
the
shoes
of
Shakuntala
Devi
and
said,
"Stepping
into
the
world
of
Shakuntala
Devi
was
as
intimidating
as
it
was
exhilarating.
Her
story
is
inspirational
and
makes
you
see
how,
if
we
believe
in
ourselves,
the
world
is
our
oyster."
Director
Anu
Menon
also
spoke
about
the
film
and
said
that
it
will
explore
the
personal
life
of
the
maths
genius,
about
which
not
much
is
known
to
the
world.
She
said,
"While
most
of
us
will
be
familiar
with
her
natural
ability
for
math,
the
film
also
explores
the
lesser
known
personal
story
of
Shakuntala
Devi-
a
brilliant
but
vulnerable
woman
and
mother
who
lived
life
ahead
of
her
times
and
on
her
own
terms.
I
am
certain
the
global
audiences
will
enjoy
the
film
as
much
as
we
enjoyed
creating
it
for
them."
Shakuntala
Devi
will
premiere
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
on
July
31.
The
film
also
casts
Sanya
Malhotra,
Amit
Sadh
and
Jisshu
Sengupta
in
pivotal
roles.
