Saina teaser: A determined Parineeti Chopra steps into Saina Nehwal's shoes

Amole Gupte’s Saina promises to be an interesting sports drama based on the life of India’s celebrated badminton player Saina Nehwal.

The teaser makes it clear that the film will not only be about Nehwal’s sports achievements but will also tackle the issue of girls being treated shabbily in India. 

The scenes look colourful and well-crafted as far as the badminton matches are concerned. The teaser lists Nehwal's major achievements in between the reel-life visuals of her heroics on the badminton court.

It is clear that the character will be unabashedly aggressive, and Chopra is convincing as the sportsperson. We are given a fleeting glimpse of Manav Kaul, who essays the role of Nehwal’s coach in the film.

Saina marks Gupte’s return to the director’s chair after Sniff!!! (2017). This is the first time he has directed a film that doesn’t have a child protagonist. 

Saina will be released in theatres on 26 March.

Check out the trailer and let us know if are keen on watching the film.
