The film is based on the life of mathematics genius, Shakuntala Devi, also known as the human computer. Her talent was discovered at the age of 5, when she solved a maths problem assigned to 18-year-old students. While talking about the film on an earlier occasion, Vidya stated, "Shakuntala Devi was truly someone who embraced her individuality, had a strong feminist voice and braved many a naysayer to reach the pinnacle of success. But what truly fascinates me is that you wouldn't normally associate a fun person math.... and she completely turns that perception on its head."
