Balan took to Instagram to flaunt her stylish black Sambhalpuri bandha saree by a Bhubaneswar-based brand Utkalamrita.

The 'Mission Mangal' actor's black saree had mathematical equations printed over it in silver colour, while its border was in contrasting red.

She completed the look with silver-colored star-shaped earrings and tied her hair in a bun.

'Shakuntala Devi,' is a biopic of the real-life 'human computer' or the 'mental calculator' -- Shakuntala Devi -- who was known for making incredibly swift calculations on her fingertips.

The film is all set to premiere on online video streaming platform Amazon Prime Video on July 31.
