Can Vidya Balan do justice to the prodigy "Shakuntala Devi" ?

Although Vidya is one of the best actress amongst the lot we have nowadays, the preconceived  notion of her being Vidya will hinder the imagination of users to consider her as the Human computer. A new comer would have been a better choice

Are people familiar with Shakuntala Devi? 
By that I mean most have only seen her pics, not familiar with her mannerisms, idiosyncrasies etc

So it shouldn’t be a tough task for someone who’s supposed be the best they’ve got 

Yeah my relative used to work for her 

We have not seen a trailer yet but I will ask my relative later

Shakuntala Devi's interview

There are few videos of her on Youtube and man she was seriously a prodigy

I'm sure she'll do justice to the role. I just hope the script doesn't let her down. Making a good biopic isn't easy.

Oh wow! If you don't mind sharing, what was your relative's experience like?

Come on, it's Vidya - and she's a great talent. I'm sure she will do justice to the role. Vidya has always been the best part about every movie she has featured in. Just see Mission Mangal and how much of an impact she had - she completely overshadowed Akshay.

I believe she will...she can act.

Fingers crossed. I haven't seen Mission mangal yet but I adore her completely. Although she was top notch in Jessica idk why I am worried about this one

Ibrhink she will. She is a delight in every movie of hers!
