Earlier Shraddha Kapoor was casted to play the title role of Saina Nehwal. In fact, she has even started filming in September 2018 after training, but later she opted out of the film due to scheduling conflicts. Later, Bhushan Kumar confirmed that Parineeti Chopra is going to play Nehwal.
In a statement they said, “Due to circumstances beyond her control, the actress kept giving other films priority over the national badminton champion’s biopic, so the makers have decided to go ahead with Chopra.”. Chopra is training herself in playing badminton and practicing the stances of Nehwal from mid-June. As many as 12 courts were recreated to represent international venues where Sania Nehwal has played. In June, Manav Kaul was finalized to play the role of Pullela Gopichand who is Nehwal’s coach.
The film is directed by Amole Gupte and was shot in 2019. It was originally supposed to release in the summer of last year but got delayed due to the ongoing pandemic.

We get a brief glimpse of Parineeti as Saina at the end of the 30-second teaser.
