Vidya Balan says it will be fun to play Shakuntala Devi\u2019s character in her next film as the math genius led a fascinating life and had a crazy side to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was amazing to know that someone who is known as a human computer is so much fun. She had a crazy side to her. I think math was the only straight side to her and this makes her life so fascinating. She is fun. And I never associate math with fun,\u201d Vidya said in a group interview here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shakuntala Devi was known for her ability to do swift calculations. Her genius was first discovered at the age of 5, when she solved a math problem for 18-year-old students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cTumhari Sulu\u201d actor will soon start preparing for the biopic, which begins shooting in October.\u201cI am nervous about this because I haven\u2019t had much time to prepare. It is a very interesting character but she was a woman, about whom you have a certain perception of being a mathematician but she is fun. Also, she had great sense of humour and I identified with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am doing a web series and it is my debut, Ronnie Screwvala is producing it. It is taking a long time to put it together as there is so much material. The web series requires a lot of work. So it is taking time but let\u2019s see. I hope it doesn\u2019t take longer,\u201d said Vidya, who is currently promoting \u201cMission Mangal\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
