Biopics in B-town always gets everyone excited and offering a new one this week is Amol Gupte’s Saina which shows us the journey of champion Saina Nehwal. Parineeti Chopra plays the lead role and she has given it all for the biopic. Right from spending time with Saina Nehwal to even visiting her house and talking to her parents to know more about her, the actress has done it all. Today in an interview with Bombay Times, the actress spills the beans about her transformation from Parineeti Chopra to Saina Nehawal.
The actress said in her interview that in order to become Saina, she became obsessed with her. She wanted to know every little thing about her and hence in her meetings with the champion, she noted down her minute reactions like the hand she uses to eat, how she sleeps, how she treats her wins and losses, what’s her facial expression when she is thinking on the court. Parineeti Chopra calls it a mini thesis.
Further in the interview when asked how Saina helped her to perfect her mannerisms and with her study, the actress said, “Between 2019 and 2020, I must have sent her messages daily, tapping her for the smallest details about her life, and she has been so kind and sweet to answer every query in detail. Saina was with me all along because she also wanted to ensure this goes right. She had told us things about herself, even the fact that she loves Shah Rukh Khan, and we made sure we included that in the story. She told us very casually about her love story and how she got married to Parupalli Kashyap. She was so chilled and that is how it comes across in the story, too. Yes, you might find things a little magnified in a filmy way, but the film is entirely the way she has led her life.”
We surely can’t wait for this one to unfold on the big screen. The stills from the film shows us Parineeti Chopra look frame-to-frame copy of Saina Nehwal and that has got netizens excited.
