What's the story?

Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal's biopic, which stars Shraddha Kapoor has been delayed, according to the Bollywood actress.The film had already been in jeopardy and now will be delayed as the Bollywood star has a number of other projects lined up in the year. With the actress confirming that she has started working on other movies, the future of this movie remains in the balance as of now, though she remains confident that the biopic will indeed be released later on.

In case you didn't know...

Nehwal has been the torchbearer for Indian badminton in the past few years before the likes of PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth came to the fore in the upper echelon of shuttle sports. News broke last year, that a biopic on Nehwal would be directed by Amol Gupte and Kapoor would play the protagonist's role.

The heart of the matter

Kapoor has been more or less confirmed to play the role even though the shooting schedule for the movie has been put on hold as of now.

In the midst of all this, Kapoor will be working on a horror movie titled 'Stree' but at the same time, she also confirmed that Nehwal's biopic will definitely be shot in the upcoming months.

It can also be noted that in the past few months reports suggested that the biopic was getting postponed regularly because Kapoor was trying to get accustomed to the sport and that was delaying the whole process.

What's next?

With plans for the biopic not materializing any soon, Nehwal will focus her energies solely on the badminton tours with hopes of regaining her position atop the world badminton ladder.

Author's take

An inspirational personality such as Nehwal certainly deserves a biopic on her glittering career. The concerned people should ensure that this film is released as soon as possible so that the budding badminton players get motivated. Also all the fans will have their hopes pinned on Kapoor once she starts shooting for the movie.
