Amazon Prime Video's upcoming biographical film titled 'Shakuntala Devi' will take a plunge into the life and triumphs of the genius Mathematician Shaktuntala Devi. The film will emphasize various lesser-known facts about her life and how she astounded the whole world with her incredible calculation skills.

One of those lesser-known facts would be that Shakuntala Devi's father discovered his daughter's ability to memorize numbers while teaching her a card trick when she was about three years old. Upon being astonished by his daughter's exceptional abilities he took her on road shows that exhibited her ability to calculate quickly to make money.
