Every time a biopic on a sports personality in Bollywood is announced, the first question one seldom asks is- Who’s starring in it? The first impression inevitably has to be about the physical resemblance, followed by the nuances of the figure. Amole Gupte has now made a film on the life of the ace badminton player Saina Nehwal.

The teaser came out on March 4 that showed her steer determination and endless achievements that made the nation weep and cheer in glory. This iconic figure is essayed by Parineeti Chopra, and despite the fact that the resemblance isn’t as seamless, the actress’ effort to sink into Nehwal’s psyche looks commendable indeed! Here’s a woman who refused to hold a ladle in her hand post adulthood, she would rather hold a sword, and for her, the sword was, is, and will always be the badminton racquet.
