During an interview with news agency IANS earlier this year, Parineeti said that as a part of the film's preparatory session, she binge watched several badminton videos on Saina Nehwal to get her body language right. "The most important advice that I got from my entire training team, Amole Gupte (film's director) Sir and everybody was that I must watch Saina's matches. I haven't watched that many badminton matches and I really want to play exactly the way she plays," said Parineeti.
Parineeti Chopra announced her association with the project earlier this year by sharing a post on social media and she wrote: "Truly, truly grateful. Thank you." This is the post we are talking about:
Earlier, Shraddha Kapoor was to play the lead role in the biopic. She had even started shooting for the film. However, the actress quit the project as she had several other projects in the line-up.
