Parineeti Chopra at the trailer of Saina had said that the forthcoming sports biopic was the challenge she was looking for because she was doing similar roles for a long time. The actor, however, also had moments of self-doubt while training for the film.

Hyderabad: Actor Parineeti Chopra, who essays badminton ace Saina Nehwal in the biopic Saina, said that at a point in time she was apprehensive about playing the role and used to cry on the court while training.
