New Delhi:
Actress Shraddha Kapoor is prepping hard for her forthcoming film, a biopic on badminton champion Saina Nehwal. Shraddha was today trained by Saina herself and her coach Pullela Gopichand. Pictures from the training session have been shared by the 30-year-old actress on social media. "Today training with the champ herself," reads the caption on one of the pictures. The biopic has been titled Saina. The film was officially announced last April and will be directed by Amole Gupte. Saina Nehwal is the first Indian badminton player to have won an Olympic medal. She has represented India thrice in the Olympics. Here's how Shraddha Kapoor is prepping for the biopic.
This was the first picture shared by Shraddha.
As soon as the film was announced, an elated Shraddha shared her excitement on social media with a picture of Saina Nehwal. "Saina Nehwal, the former world no 1 badminton player, an Indian girl, an inspiration to millions, a youth icon in the truest sense. Her journey to the top has been fascinating and I am honoured to be given this opportunity to play her in my next film Saina. The preparation for this film is going to be very, very challenging. It's probably going to be my most difficult film till date. Wish me luck everyone."
Shraddha Kapoor is currently awaiting the release of Haseena Parkar, a biopic on underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's sister. The film releases on September 22. Shraddha's brother Siddhanth plays the role of Dawood Ibrahim in Haseena Parkar. She also has Prabhas' Saaho in the pipeline.
