We are thrilled that Vikram Malhotra and Abundantia took up the project and gave it life. Ajay and I couldn't have asked for better producers. I am also glad that I had the opportunity to significantly input into the development of the script - because while my mother's love and passion for maths is well-known, she was also multifaceted - always wanting to do new things, travel to new places, live life to the fullest!"
