Vidya Balan announces the release date of Shakuntala Devi

We all know that Vidya Balan will be seen playing the role of Shakuntala Devi in the mathematician's biopic. The shooting of the film kickstarted a few months ago, and the first poster of the film had impressed us a lot. The makers had revealed that the movie will hit the screens in Summer 2020, but now they have officially announced the release date.

Shakuntala Devi will be hitting the screens on 8th May 2020. Vidya took to Instagram to inform her fans about it. She posted, “Get ready to be enamoured by her wit, charm & of course, genius! Watch the video to know when #ShakuntalaDevi is coming to theatres near you! @sanyamalhotra_ @senguptajisshu @theamitsadh @directormenon @sonypicsprodns @abundantiaent @ivikramix @sonypicturesin.”


In the video, Vidya is seen showing off her maths skills to inform about the release date and we must say that it’s quite interesting. Apart from Vidya Balan, the film also stars Sanya Malhotra and Amit Sadh. While the former plays the role of Shakuntala Devi’s daughter, the latter will be seen as her son-in-law.

Well, Shakuntala Devi won’t be getting a solo release and it will clash with two other interesting films like Dil Bechara and The Girl On The Train. Dil Bechara starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi is a remake of Hollywood film The Fault In Our Stars and The Girl On The Train starring Parineeti Chopra is also a remake of a Hollywood movie which had the same name.

So, now on 8th May 2020, we have two Hollywood remakes and a biopic slated to hit the screens.

Arctic air brings brings cold snap to UK, weather warnings issued

The recent spring warmth enjoyed across much of the UK has been replaced by a bitter cold snap as Arctic air sweeps in from the north. This shift in weather has brought a stark contrast to the sunny conditions experienced just days ago, with temperatures plunging and snow showers appearing in several areas.

On Wednesday, snow showers were reported in parts of the Southern Uplands, Shropshire Hills, and the Cotswolds. Even racegoers attending day two of the Cheltenham Festival were met with a brief spell of snow, much to their surprise. The sudden cold has prompted the Met Office to issue a yellow warning for ice, affecting parts of northern England, particularly the Pennines and the Peak District. This warning extends into early Thursday, as icy conditions on roads and pavements pose potential hazards.
