Shakuntala Devi gets a release date
Shakuntala Devi, the mathematical wizard, or ‘human-computer’ a moniker she earned, was known for her ability to make incredibly swift calculations. Shakuntala’s genius was first discovered at the age of 5 when she solved a math problem for 18-year-old students. Though she never received any formal education, her talent for numbers also earned her a place in the 1982 edition of The Guinness Book of World Records.
The film has been directed by Anu Menon and produced by Vikram Malhotra, under the banner of Abundantia.
