Is Shraddha Kapoor’s Saina Nehwal biopic called off because of glitches?

Shraddha Kapoor’s biopic on mafia don Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena Parkar came unstuck at the box office.

However, we were still eagerly looking forward to seeing Shraddha Kapoor as badminton ace, Saina Nehwal. She was to star in Amole Gupte’s film, which was based on the life of the former No 1 badminton champ.

A trade source informs us that this project has now been put on the back burner. Says our source, “Shraddha and Saina had met on a few occasions. Preparations were on in full swing. However, the movie may not happen because of some other glitches.” Another source adds, “The project has been pushed. One doesn’t know if it is indefinitely postponed or whether it has been deferred for a bit.
