Raveena Tandon on Saina: Actor Raveena Tandon shared on social media recently that she cannot wait to watch Parineeti Chopra starrer biopic Saina. Based on the life of badminton champ Saina Nehwal, Saina will release in theatres on March 26. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Tandon wrote, "So looking forward to seeing this inspirational film of the pride of our country #Saina," tagging both Chopra and Nehwal in her post.
"Thank you so much for posting this. At a time like this, I wish everyone would come forward and support us by watching the film this Friday," Chopra wrote, sharing Tandon's story on Instagram.
On Tuesday, the song Chal Wahin Chalein sung by Shreya Ghoshal was also released from the film. Ghoshal took to her Instagram account on Monday to share the teaser of the song. The teaser of the song features the moment when the famous badminton player shows her mother her jersey, as she enters the national level of the game.
Shreya wrote in the caption, “Family is the anchor that helps the ship of your life sail through all the stormy phases. #ChalWahinChalein teaser out now. Song out tomorrow. Stay tuned!”
Earlier, Chopra had revealed it would have been intimidating for her if Nehwal watched her play during the film's shoot. In a statement recently, she said, "I remember visiting Saina Nehwal's house in Hyderabad to meet her and she had told me, 'I have never seen you play sports before.' When we returned I knew I had to double my training as someone entrusted me with a responsibility to play the sport right. If I can play even one percent of what she played, I would consider myself lucky." Read about Saina Nehwal’s real and reel dads' views on the biopic here.
"I was glad only my coaches and trainers were there. If Saina herself had been there, would've made me very nervous," added the 32-year-old actor.
However, she also confirmed that the athlete was always clearing all her doubts. "Saina was very approachable and answered all queries I had. I literally discussed everything under the sky with her, my training, fitness to if I am holding the racquet right. I wanted to look right for the part and do justice to the sport and Saina," she said in her statement. Read about Saina Nehwal and her mom here.
