The man behind films like Stanley Ka Dabba, Hawa Hawai and the creative director of Taare Zameen Par, Amol Gupte, has been roped in to direct the biopic on badminton champion Saina Nehwal. When asked how the film will be different from biopics on sportspersons like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Mary Kom, Gupte said:

How many times have we encountered either a male or a female Indian get prime ranking in a world sport? None – except Saina Nehwal. That makes it different, doesn’t it? It’s a story of a ‘tigress beti’, ‘princess beti’ who has set fire to the badminton court with her prowess like no one else before.
