An astounding fact about Shakuntala Devi is that she was much ahead of her years and just at the age of six she demonstrated her arithmetic abilities at the University of Mysore without any formal education. The age of six is when most children are in pre-school but Shakuntala was already demonstrating her staggering arithmetic abilities at a university!
Shakuntala Devi was known as 'the human-computer' for her awe-striking abilities to perform complex mathematical calculations quickly and once she had even pointed out a mistake made by a computer which is how she attained that name! The audience looks forward to witnessing the highs and lows of Shakuntala Devi's life on the screens.
The upcoming film 'Shakuntala Devi' is directed by Anu Menon and produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions and Vikram Malhotra. The film also stars Jisshu Sengupta, Sanya Malhotra, and Amit Sadh in prominent roles. Make sure to tune in to Amazon Prime Video on the 31st of July to watch the film!
