Movie lovers got super excited when Bollywood makers announced a biopic on Badminton beauty queen Saina Nehwal. The makers first roped in Bollywood beauty Shraddha Kapoor in the lead role but later she was replaced by Parineeti Chopra.
Now both the beauties seems to have realized in a hard way that starring and reprising the role of a badminton player is not as easy as signing the dotted line.
Parineeti Chopra is accompanied with a high profile badminton coach wherever she goes. She is attending her other films shoots in foreign locations or film functions with her coach. This shows her commitment to enact the role to perfection.
The makers have been trying hard for more than two years for the biopic. Amole Gupta is directing the film produced by T Series head Bhushan Kumar. The biopic was supposed to start last year.
However the makers had differences with Shraddha Kapoor. Though Shraddha trained hard for the role, filmmakers are not satisfied with her training and so the producers officially announced that they replaced her with Parineeti. But, reports came that; Shraddha couldn't concentrate on the biopic due to her other high profile projects. She opted out of the project after training alongside Saina Nehwal.
Now Parineeti is concentrating hard on the biopic. She has been spending time for few months with the game. However Parineeti is not having the fitness required for the badminton game. She is sweating out hard for her role. It has to be seen when Saina Nehwal biopic picks up pace.
