Mumbai, February 3: Saina Nehwal is looking forward to her biopic and the ace shuttler says actor Shraddha Kapoor, who will be playing her role in the movie, has worked hard on the project. Titled "Saina", the film directed by Amol Gupte, went on floors last September. "I am looking forward to the film. The script is lovely. As far as I have seen Shraddha preparing for it, she has done really well. I am waiting for it. It is taking some time to complete. But I am sure it is turning out well," Saina told PTI.
The badminton player said life stories of sports stars make for a good movie plot line as they are full of hardships and motivate people to do better in their lives. "All the sports star have wonderful stories behind them. The struggles and hardships, they have gone through are very different from each other. So, a film on any sports star will make a good plot.
