Shraddha Kapoor sure is on a roll huh? The actress has been roped in to play Saina Nehwal for the ace badminton champion’s biopic. For those of you who don’t know, she is also playing the role of Haseena Parker in her upcoming movie Haseena.
In an interaction with leading daily, Shraddha confirmed the news and said, “Most girls would have played badminton at some point in their lives in school. I feel so lucky to be playing Saina, who is not just among the world’s top badminton players, but also a youth icon. I can’t wait to start prepping for my role”.
Speaking to the daily, an ecstatic Saina said, “Whoa! That’s news to me… I was aware of the film, yes. But I didn’t know about this casting. It’s great if Shraddha is playing me because she is a very talented actress and very hardworking! I am sure she will do justice to the role. The best part is, she is a good friend as well. So it will be easier to teach her some badminton (laughs). A lot of people tell me that we look similar and I think that’s a huge compliment because Shraddha is very beautiful.”
What do you think of the casting?
