The supremely talented actress has been rejecting movies before as she wasn’t liking any scripts been offered. When asked Vidya Balan on what made her want to sign the film, in an interview with Mid-Day, she said, “What drew me to the subject was her magnetic personality and the life that she led. I am playing her from her early 20s till the fag end of her career.” Ooh, this sounds interesting!

According to Wikipedia. ‘Shakuntala Devi was born in Bangalore, Karnataka to an orthodox Kannada Brahmin family. Her father rebelled against becoming a temple priest and instead joined a circus where he worked as a trapeze artist, lion tamer, tightrope walker, and magician. He discovered his daughter’s ability to memorise numbers while teaching her a card trick when she was about three years old. Her father left the circus and took her on road shows that displayed her ability at calculation. She did this without any formal education. At the age of six, she demonstrated her arithmetic abilities at the University of Mysore.’

We can only imagine how fun this retelling of her life is going to be.
