The progress on Saina, the biopic on national badminton champion Saina Nehwal, has been rather slow. According to sources, Shraddha Kapoor’s dates (she plays the shuttler in the film) are ‘a bit of a mess’. The actress is currently shuttling between this sports drama and Chhichhore, which stars Sushant Singh Rajput. As a result, Saina’s director Amole Gupte is unhappy that his film, which was announced much earlier, has been reportedly getting the second-hand treatment.

We sent him a text message and asked him whether he was indeed upset with his leading lady because of whom the biopic has been apparently progressing slowly. But he didn’t revert to us till the time of going to press.
