Actor Shraddha Kapoor, who is all set to portray Saina Nehwal on the big screen, says the ace badminton player's journey mirrors her own. The biopic, titled Saina, will be directed by Amol Gupte, who has helmed movies such as Stanley Ka Dabba and Hawa Hawaai. The film went on floors last week.

The 31-year-old actor says she has been practising for the role for many months now and during the process she came to realise how hard it was for Saina to achieve her success.
