Parineeti Chopra took to Instagram to share a vidceo of herself gruelling hard on the court as part of her training for upcoming biopic on tennis ace Sania Nehwal. The first massive challenge that any actor faces while doing a sports biopic is actually a two-fold issue. First, an actor has to become very good at the sport the film is based on and secondly, picking up the body language and mannerism of the actual sporting icon and then replicating it exactly on screen.
Saina is a champion badminton player with incredible discipline. Parineeti feels emulating her way of life and learning to play the game like her is the first step to actually becoming her on screen. each Parineeti's training session lasts for 2 hours and of course, it is but natural that one will be exhausted after such practise sessions. She shared an adorable and relatable set of images that showcased her mood when she starts training and her state of body immediately after.
Speaking about playing Saina, Parineeti had earlier said, “I am actually quite excited to get into the character of Saina, get into the skin of a world champion because playing a fictional character might not have been as exciting as playing a real character. Here, I have somebody who has extensive documentation on exactly how she plays, who she played every match in her life. "

The actress also added, every single moment that she has ever played badminton is on screen! So, to kind of imbibe that and to kind of learn that is really exciting for me as an actor. I wanted to do a sports biopic for a long time so this project is absolutely perfect!”
