On being asked when the shooting of the movie will begin, she said it will start soon. Vidya Balan quoted, "It will start) Not very soon. It's going to take time because it’s a web series and that requires a lot of work to put things together. So, it may take a couple of years to start the shooting."

Vidya Balan will be next seen in a biopic based on the life of a famous mathematician. She will be donning the role of Shakuntala Devi in the movie.

Most South Indians pursue science and maths, and I am sure my parents will now be satisfied that I traverse both worlds within one year faster than rest of them did!"
Adding more to the same she said, “It (the preparation) is not about maths. Anyway, I am going to fake it. They (the makers of the film) are going to give me the answers that I am going to write on board. I think I need to be familiar with the person. She was the only computer in the world with a sense of humour. She had a wicked sense of humour so; I am actually trying to imbibe that quality. She also had an incredible journey so; I am feeling nervous about playing the character in the film."
