Will 2021 be Parineeti Chopra's year?

Shubhrajyoti Barat, who plays the sports star’s father Harvir Singh Nehwal, says, “The video-streaming platforms are an effective option. That said, these decisions are best left to the producers. The film may release in the next few months. Personally, I would love to see Saina in theatres.”

If Chopra picked up badminton and prepped extensively to do justice to her role as Nehwal, the supporting cast too met their real-life counterparts. “We interacted with Saina and her parents. Her mother [Usha Rani] narrated how she would drive 25 kilometres at 5 am to take the then-young Saina to badminton classes.”
