In the motion poster, we get to see Vidya’s look as Shakuntala Devi.

 Iit also introduces to us why her story was so incredible. It has been explained that while most of us start with the simple table of 1, Shakuntala Devi jumped directly into the cube root of 16777216. While this number might intimidate most of us, she played with them, earning the title of ‘human computer’. It also reveals the adjectives that were used to describe her. While on one hand there’s ‘genius’, ‘sharp’ and ‘witty’, there are also other adjectives like ‘selfish’ and ‘ruthless’. Check out the promo here:
