Earlier
today
(March
8,
2021),
when
the
makers
of
Saina
attended
the
trailer
launch
of
the
film,
filmmaker
Amol
Gupte
and
actress
Parineeti
Chopra
interacted
with
media
and
spoke
about
several
things
related
to
the
film.
When
Amol
was
asked
about
Shraddha
Kapoor
leaving
the
film,
he
refused
to
give
any
answer
and
said,
"I
have
COVID-19
so
I
can't
hear
anything.
I
won't
be
able
to
answer
this.
I
won't
answer
this."
When
the
same
question
was
shifted
to
Parineeti,
who
replaced
Shraddha
in
Saina,
and
was
asked
if
she
felt
any
kind
of
pressure
because
of
the
Saaho
actress,
here's
what
she
said:
"I
had
only
my
pressure
and
that
of
my
director.
I
wanted
to
impress
him
and
work
hard
to
learn
the
sport.
I
didn't
take
any
external
pressure.
The
pressure
was
me,
my
coach
approving
what
I'm
learning,
my
director
approving
what
I'm
looking
like
on-screen.
There
was
no
other
pressure," said
Parineeti.
Parineeti
was
also
quizzed
about
the
trolls,
who
criticised
the
first
look
poster
of
the
film.
Speaking
about
trolling,
the
Ishaqzaade
actress
said
that
she
functions
very
differently.
She
further
said
that
if
she
finds
criticism
valid,
she
reacts
to
it
sportingly,
but
if
she
doesn't
find
any
merit
in
it
then
she
simply
ignores
it.
At
the
same
event,
Parineeti
also
spoke
about
how
she
prepped
herself
for
Saina
and
said,
"My
personal
goal
with
this
film
is
this
that
people
should
give
badminton
the
respect
it
deserves
in
the
country.
It
took
me
at
least
5-6
months
to
just
get
basics
right.
But
emotionally,
I
left
it
to
Amol
sir
because
no
one
has
the
emotional
depth
that
he
has.
Sometimes
I
would
get
worried
set
when
Amol
sir
would
do
scenes
for
me."
Saina
is
all
set
to
hit
the
theatres
on
March
26,
2021.
