Stepping into Saina Nehwal’s shoes was no easy feat for Parineeti Chopra, who stars in and as Saina. The film traces the journey of the ace Indian badminton champion Saina Nehwal, who with her never-give-up spirit inspired billions across the globe. While the film has received massive support from the industry and the Indian and international sports fraternity, the journey was intense and required major prep to get into mind and physicality of being an athlete. Serious skills go behind the making of an Olympian and no one understood that better than Parineeti, who spent months training for agility, performance and speed.
