Bollywood can’t get enough of making biopics and we honestly don’t mind cause they are so good. The latest one is based on the life of ace Badminton player Saina Nehwal. Directed by Amole Gupte, this film stars Parineeti Chopra in the lead role. This film was announced in 2017 and Shraddha Kapoor was signed on to play the role of Nehwal. However, Shraddha’s scheduling conflicts with other films forced her to opt-out of this one.
The trailer for this Parineeti Chopra was recently released and from what we can see, this already looks like a film that’s going to tug on the emotional strings of our heart. In this movie, we will be getting to know Saina’s life from when she was a little girl. We will get to witness her struggles, her family life, her dedication to the sport and her never-giving-up spirit that enabled her to attain the world no. 1 ranking.
In this short video clip, Parineeti talks about the insane amount of hard work she had to put in to train for the film. We get to see behind the scene footage of the actor practising hard, having breakdowns but doing whatever it took for her to play the part.

In Saina, we will also see Manav Kaul play the role of Saina’s coach Pullela Gopichand. The other supporting cast includes Eshan Naqvi, Meghna Malik, Subhrajyoti Barat, and Ankur Vikal.
We have to say that Parineeti Chopra has been on a roll as far as her film career is going. Last month we saw her in The Girl On The Train. On March 19 we will get to watch her in Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. The following week on March 26 we will get to watch her bring her ace game to the big screen with Saina.
