Bhopal: Ace shuttler and Olympic Bronze medallist Saina Nehwal said that she won’t mind a biopic made on her life and wants it to highlight the sport of badminton rather than focus on her.

Saina, who won three titles this year including the recently won China Open, said that if a film or a documentary is made on her then it should promote badminton.

“I think people are already aware of whatever is going on in my life. If a movie comes it should be like sports. It should promote badminton and not me,” bronze-medal winner in 2012 London Games, Saina, who was in the city to receive a cash reward of 50 lakh Rupees by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in an awards function, said.

“So far, films like ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ and ‘Mary Kom’ but badminton is a technique game and for making a film on it one has to learn its techniques also,” she added.

Asked who would she like to play the protagonist’s role, she said, “Actress Deepika Padukone is fit to play her role as she is also a good badminton player,” adding, she would also like to see superstar Shah Rukh Khan as the hero in the film. Saina also predicted that India may get two medals in Rio Olympics to be held in 2016. (PTI)
