During an interview with news agency IANS earlier this year, Parineeti said that as a part of the film's preparatory session, she binge watched several badminton videos on Saina Nehwal to get her body language right. "The most important advice that I got from my entire training team, Amole Gupte (film's director) Sir and everybody was that I must watch Saina's matches. I haven't watched that many badminton matches and I really want to play exactly the way she plays," said Parineeti.
Parineeti Chopra announced her association with the project earlier this year by sharing a post on social media and she wrote: "Truly, truly grateful. Thank you." This is the post we are talking about:

On the work front, Parineeti Chopra was last seen in the period drama Kesari, co-starring Akshay Kumar. Parineeti's upcoming projects include Bhuj: The Pride Of India, Jabariya Jodi, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and the Hindi remake of The Girl On The Train.
