Amazon Prime Video has unveiled the trailer for Shakuntala Devi, the biographical drama based on the life of the math genius.
The Hindi title is the first Indian language biopic to make its global premiere exclusively on Prime Video and stars Vidya Balan as Shakuntala Devi, who was famously referred to as the “human computer” for her ability to do incredibly fast calculations.
The biographical drama also stars Sanya Malhotra, who will be seen playing the role of Shakuntala Devi’s daughter with whom the genius enjoyed a complicated but extraordinary relationship.
Actors Jisshu Sengupta and Amit Sadh also essay pivotal roles in the film. Prime members in India and more than 200 countries and territories worldwide can watch the biopic from July 31.
“Stepping into the world of Shakuntala Devi was as intimidating as it was exhilarating,” said Vidya Balan. “Her story is inspirational and makes you see how if we believe in ourselves, the world is our oyster. A direct release on Prime Video will bring Shakuntala Devi one step closer to audiences across the globe where they can watch the movie at their convenience.”
