It sure looks like the concept of biopics have taken Bollywood like a storm. The amount of biopics that have been released in the recent past is staggering. Directors probably have realized that people’s lives and their stories hold much more fascination than some random flick with a plot with which the audience at times fails to identify or cannot enjoy because now it’s as old as the Greek civilization. We have seen biopics on politicians but perhaps more on athletes- Bhag Milkha Bhag, Mary Kom, M.S. Dhoni – The Untold Story, Gold, Soorma, Sachin: A billion dreams and the like. Looks like we are all in for another sports biopic this time on Saina Nehwal, to be played by Shraddha Kapoor.

Playing a hardy sportsperson like Nehwal will obviously be very challenging. She is not your average athlete and to be in her body would mean a strict diet plan and work out regiment. And that is exactly what Shraddha Kapoor has been doing. Reportedly she has made quite a few alterations in her daily schedule as demanded by the script and the character. She has been indulging herself in a game of badminton almost every alternate day for at least a few hours and has been sweating it out like never in the gym. She has also signed up for physiotherapy sessions which will help her with the hardcore physical training that she has to undergo.
Life of an athlete is hard. There can be no doubt about that. And Shraddha has to live that life for a few months, to say the least. Her diet plan reportedly is another sad affair with minimum carbs and absolutely no sugar intake. It’s been quite a few while since the announcement was made of Shraddha being cast as Saina. The movie will reportedly go on floors sometime in September. Recently we have also seen how Disha Patani is prepping for her role in Bharat and Shraddha also seems to be on the right track with her regime.

The actress has been explicitly vocal about the hardships of the training but she has also mentioned that she has thoroughly enjoyed the 3840 classes that she has taken. Well, kudos to you Shraddha! The scenes involving the badminton sequences will however not be shot until sometime next year as reports suggest. Apart from this things have been going rather well for the actress with Amar Kaushik’s Stree hitting the theatres and we know, the duo have done their bit for the promotion of the movie especially over social media. Also, two of her upcoming movies would be Batti Gul Meter Chalu with Shahid Kapoor and Saaho with Prabhas.
