Sanya Malhotra, who played Aamir Khan's younger daughter in the blockbuster sports drama Dangal, won acclaim for her performance, and later went on to star in the critically acclaimed Patakhaa and the superhit flick Badhaai Ho costarring Ayushmann Khurrana.

The actress, who's awaiting the release of her award winning flick Photograph directed by the talented Ritesh Batra (who had earlier made Lunchbox) and costarring the powerhouse performer Nawazuddin Siddiqui, scheduled to release in March, has bagged an interesting biopic.

Sanya will be seen playing Anupama Banerjee, the daughter of mathematician Shakuntala Devi, known as the human computer, in her biopic which is directed by Anu Menon. Sanya Malhotra will be sharing screen space with national award winning actor Vidya Balan who will be portraying Shakuntala Devi's role.
