In the time of Biopics which are being made on some prominent personalities, every Bollywood star wants to be part of strong stories. After the good response of

Mission Mangal

, Vidya Balan is all set to shoot for her next biopic story based on

Shakuntala Devi

. We are sure many biopics would have come the actress’ way but looks like this one caught her eye. The film is helmed by Anu Menon who has earlier directed film London Paris New York.

When the internet was surprised to see Vidya’s look from the film which went viral, it looked quite different from her other roles. Having a Bob haircut and wearing a simple cotton saree made her look no less than Shakuntala Devi and actress being South Indian adds up well to her character. Vidya in a recent interview with BT shared that how she is choosing her films, “I am starting the biopic on Shakuntala Devi immediately after Mission Mangal releases. I want to work at my pace.”


To shed more light over Shakuntala Devi, she was a mathematician who’s also known as ‘Human computer.’ She had the perfect knack for numbers and mathematical solutions. The way she was swift with her answers over math, she was given the name of

human computer

and Vidya seems to be super excited to get into her shoe for the reel life.
