Vidya Balan has finally announced that her upcoming film ‘Shakuntala Devi’ will be released on Amazon Prime on July 31.

The biopic, which features Balan in the titular role of the well-known mathematician, was among the first major movies to head to a digital streaming platform amid the coronavirus-induced lockdown, which has led to the closing of cinema screens across the country.

Written and directed by Anu Menon, the film has been produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions and Vikram Malhotra.
