It is not an uncommon trend in India for the life story of sportspersons to be brought to life on screen by making movies on their struggles and journey to become an inspirational figure. In recent times, biopics on cricketers like MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar have been made. Similarly, other films like Mary Kom, Dangal and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag among many others have done the same.
In that vein, a film on the life of badminton sensation Saina Nehwal has been made and is set to release on March 26, 2021. Saina is among the most decorated and most popular sports stars in India and has brought a plethora of laurels to the country in her career, with her most notable being the bronze medal in the Olympic Games in 2012 in London.
