Mumbai: Saina Nehwal is looking forward to her biopic and the ace shuttler has said actor Shraddha Kapoor, who will be playing her role in the movie, has worked hard on the project. Titled ‘Saina’, the film directed by Amol Gupte, went on floors last September.
The Hindi film industry has been hit by the biopic bug in the last few years. However except for the films on Milkha Singh and MS Dhoni, none of the others, including that of the iconic Sachin Tendulkar has failed to make a mark at the box office. It remains to be seen what fate awaits Saina’s biopic.
“I am looking forward to the film. The script is lovely. As far as I have seen Shraddha preparing for it, she has done really well. I am waiting for it. It is taking some time to complete. But I am sure it is turning out well,” Saina told this agency, Saturday night.
The badminton player said life stories of sports stars make for a good movie plot line as they are full of hardships and motivate people to do better in their lives.
“All the sports personalities have wonderful stories behind them. The struggles and hardships, they have gone through are very different from each other. So, a film on any sports star will make a good plot. If there is a biopic on a sportsperson, I am the first one to go and watch it because it motivates me a lot. I am sure people would like to know my story as well,” Saina stated.
Saina was talking on the sidelines of a fashion show here Saturday where she walked the ramp for designer Vaani Raghupathy Vivek’s new collection ‘Magnoliaa’. The shuttler looked ethereal in a heavily embellished bright yellow lehenga as she sashyed down the runway.
Saina was the second sports personality to turn showstopper at the event after champion wrestler Geeta Phogat.
