In Picture: Shraddha Kapoor in Saina Nehwal biopic

The makers of Saina Nehwal biopic have released the first look of actress Shraddha Kapoor who is playing the role of the ace badminton player.

Kapoor has been practicing for months including many 6am training sessions while juggling other commitments, she says, “I have already clocked 40 classes of badminton in preparation for this biopic. It’s a really tough sport, but I am enjoying myself. To get an insight into the life of a sportsperson is fascinating. Saina’s journey itself is so interesting — right from her misses to her injuries and victories. I can relate to her journey in a big way, because I have gone through similar experiences in a different field. Despite everything, she has not let her focus shift and that’s what’s truly inspiring.”

Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series produced ‘Saina Nehwal biopic’ went on floors on 22nd September 2018. Starring Kapoor as Saina Nehwal, the film is directed by Amole Gupte.
