The upcoming film Saina directed by Amole Gupte traces the journey of ace Indian badminton champion, Saina Nehwal, who with her never-give-up attitude inspired billions across the globe. Wearing the doyen of Indian badminton's cap was a huge challenge for Parineeti Chopra who headlines the film. However, with the best team at her disposal, Parineeti managed to not just act like Saina but also looked like her in the biographical sports drama.
 
A recent still from the film featuring Parineeti in and as Saina truly captures the latter's intensity on the court. The actress bears an uncanny resemblance to the badminton champion from the shirt and sport shorts look, right down to every single accessory.
