While the release date of the same had not been announced back then, the streamer has now confirmed that the film will be available on the platform from July 31.

Helmed by Anu Menon and jointly bankrolled by Vikram Malhotra’s Abundantia Entertainment and Sony Pictures Networks Productions, Shakuntala Devi is the biopic of the late mathematician of the same name.
The film also stars Sanya Malhotra, who plays Vidya’s character’s daughter, and Jisshu Sengupta, who plays the husband, along with Amit Sadh in an important role. The screenplay is written by Anu Menon and Nayanika Mahtani, while the dialogues are penned by Ishita Moitra.
The mathematical wizard or ‘human computer’, who was known for her ability to make incredibly swift calculations died in 2013, at the age of 83, due to respiratory and cardiac problems.
