Playing the role of India’s only female badminton player to be ranked as World No. 1 has been a tremendously exciting prospect for Shraddha, who has delved deep into the details which make the character come to life. According to a statement Shraddha underwent extensive physical training to develop the stamina and speed of the ace shuttler. Saina Nehwal’s 2012 Olympic bronze medal remains a defining moment in Indian sporting history. She won the badminton singles Commonwealth Gold for India in 2010, and then again in 2018. The Saina Nehwal biopic will mark Shraddha Kapoor’s next association with T-Series after Adiya Roy Kapoor-starrer Aashiqui 2 and the recently released Batti Gul Meter Chalu, alongside Shahid Kapoor and Yami Gautam. The Saina Nehwal biopic went on floors on 22 September and is being directed by Amole Gupte .
