Here’s what Parineeti Chopra is doing to make the Saina Nehwal biopic perfect

Parineeti Chopra has stepped in Shraddha Kapoor’s shoes for the Saina Nehwal biopic. The ‘Kesari’ star, who loves to get into the skin of her character, has started prepping for her role as the badminton player who has made India proud on a number of occasions. Parineeti wakes up at 5 am every day to ace her badminton skills for the biopic.

The Saina Nehwal biopic, that is being produced by Bhushan Kumar, had Shraddha Kapoor as the leading lady. The ‘Aashiqui 2’ star had already started shooting for the same in September last year. But she has recently opted out of it citing scheduling conflicts. Parineeti was roped in by the makers and since then, the actress has been working hard to prep for her role. She is undergoing training with coach and co-star, Eshan Naqvi, at a suburban sports club.

Speaking about her role, Pari said that she is quite excited to play the role of Saina Nehwal in her biopic. She prefers to get into the skin of the character and playing a real character is truly exciting for her. She has extensive documentation on exactly how Saina plays.

She further added that like Saina, she too wakes up at 5 am and starts prepping at the courts. They start playing at 6 am till 8 am. She further added that the team has given her constant support and Yonex (the badminton brand) has given her the complete gear. She will train for three-four months and only then, she’ll face the camera as she wants to do justice to Saina.

The biopic, that is being produced by Bhushan Kumar, Divya Kumar Khosla and Kishan Kumar, is expected to wrap up by the year-end.
