Actress Shraddha Kapoor is soon going to start prepping up for her character, modelled on ace badminton player, Saina Nehwal, in her upcoming biopic. The actress is going to get trained in badminton, to get the nuances of her character perfectly. A source close to a tabloid confirmed by saying, “Shraddha will begin training in badminton under the guidance of a senior coach from Prakash Padukone’s academy. She will be training at a world-class badminton facility in suburban Mumbai and will practice daily till it’s time to kick off the shoot, which is in a few months.”

In the past, Shraddha opened up on the biopic, with a leading daily. She had said, “Most girls would have played badminton at some point in their lives in school.
