Vidya Balan on the professional front
Vidya Balan will be seen essaying the character of the late mathematical genius, Shakuntala Devi in her next. The actor has left no stone unturned to bring authenticity to her character, as the movie features Vidya Balan in a never-seen-before avatar. The makers of the movie have managed to rope in Dangal actor Sanya Malhotra to portray the character of Anupama Banerji, daughter of Shakuntala Devi. Shakuntala Devi: Human-Computer desires to put forth the story of the achievements and the ups and downs in the life of the late mathematician.
A genius from the age of three and an inspiration to many.
