In November 2020, Saina Nehwal re-tweeted an unseen picture of Parineeti Chopra in character for the upcoming biopic. She captioned it, “My lookalike.” Talking about the picture, it showed Ms Chopra dressed up as Saina Nehwal in a blue-white jersey while on the badminton court. The actress is seen sporting shoulder-length hair and looks determined to win the game.
To ace her character, Parineeti Chopra had undergone rigorous training, during which she even sustained a neck injury in 2019. Earlier, Shraddha Kapoor was to play Sania Nehwal but had to leave the project midway.
