Saina trailer: Parineeti Chopra promises to break the Great Wall of China in her quest for No 1 title

Saina not just rides on the journey of the badminton player, but also touches upon gender relates taboos in our society. Actor Manav Kaul plays her coach (on the lines of Pullela Gopichand), and his connection with Parineeti onscreen looks inevitable.

Saina Nehwal is the first Indian badminton player to win an Olympic medal. She also became the only Indian woman shuttler to become world number one.

For the biopic, Parineeti has been religiously learning the game. She had shared that she was playing badminton for two hours every day and training for an hour at least to sport an athlete’s physique and attitude.

Talking about preparing for the role, Parineeti had earlier said in a statement, “I was dying to do a sports-based film. It is a part of my personality as an actor that I have never explored, and I am so happy that I get to portray a strong and powerful girl like Saina. She has put our country on the world map, and I excited to put in all the training and hard work that comes with learning the game of Badminton and portraying Saina on screen.”
