After a lot of speculation over when the Saina Nehwal biopic will go on floors, we have learnt that the movie will roll by the end of next month. Shraddha Kapoor, who is essaying the badminton champion, has started prepping for the role. A source says that the actress has changed her routine completely. On days that she is not promoting Stree and Batti Gul Meter Chalu or shooting for Saaho, Shraddha starts her day at 5 am. And, once her promotions get over, this will be her daily routine.
“The plan charted out is such that she trains for badminton on alternate days for one-and-a-half hours, works out in the gym on the other days for the same duration followed by a session of physiotherapy, so that her muscles don’t jam and there is no injury. Not just physical training but there will be changes in her diet too. She will be having a high protein diet and will be off sweets as she has to live an athlete’s life for a certain period,” says a source.
While the film’s shoot will start by September-end, the source adds that scenes that require Shraddha to play the sport will be filmed from December or early next year.
