Indo-British film on Ramanujan

IBNLive : Indo-British film on Ramanujan: "Popular British director and actor Stephen Fry and prolific writer-director Dev Benegal are to produce a film on math wizard Srinivasa Ramanujan's contribution to digital technology. Dubbed as the "man who knew infinity", Ramanujan was born in a poor family in 1887.

He dropped out of college at a young age and craving recognition of his talents while working as a clerk at the port in Madras, he shot off letters to Cambridge mathematicians. On Ramanujan's third attempt Cambridge mathematician G H Hardy took notice of his talent and the film is based on the friendship that the two share.

The multi-million dollar film will be shot in Erode (where Ramanujan was born) and Kumbakonam (where he grew up) in Tamil Nadu, and in Cambridge where he spent five years."
