Saina Nehwal's Biopic Choice: Shraddha Kapoor Was Always First Pick
18 Feb
Summary
- Saina Nehwal would still choose Shraddha Kapoor for her biopic role.
- Parineeti Chopra unfollowed Saina Nehwal on Instagram recently.
- Shraddha Kapoor initially withdrew due to dengue before filming.
Badminton champion Saina Nehwal reiterated her preference for Shraddha Kapoor to portray her in a biopic, asserting Kapoor was always her first choice. Kapoor had initially been selected for the role in the 2021 film, titled 'Saina,' but had to withdraw due to contracting dengue.
Nehwal clarified that her interactions with Parineeti Chopra, who ultimately played the lead, were largely professional due to tight filming schedules. The film, directed by Amol Gupte, chronicled Nehwal's career but did not achieve significant box office success or widespread critical acclaim.
Attention has recently focused on the personal dynamic between the two athletes following social media observations that Chopra unfollowed Nehwal on Instagram. Nehwal continues to follow Chopra, who has not yet commented on the social media development.
