This talented actor roped in to play Parineeti Chopra's coach in 'Saina'!

About three months back, a new announcement was made that Parineeti Chopra has replaced Shraddha Kapoor in the biopic of ace badminton player Saina Nehwal. The Kesari actor has been prepping for the role from a very long time and the biopic is set to go on floors in the month of October this year. Parineeti has been snapped while making her way for the training and she has been sharing her excitement for the same on social media pages.

Now, director Amole Gupte has finalised the cast of Saina's coach for the biopic. The filmmaker-actor has roped in Manav Kaul to play Parineeti's onscreen couch in Saina. Talking about it, a source stated to Mumbai Mirror, "Amole and his team felt that Manav would suit the role. He has begun prep and the research for his role. The film is expected to go on the floors in October." Manav has been a part of a lot of popular films namely Badla, Tumhari Sulu, Jolly LLB 2 to name a few.

Earlier, Parineeti spoke about the prep to a tabloid, "Prep usually starts early because we have booked courts in slots when there are no distractions of any kind. We start at 6 am and wind up by 8 am. I will have to live this regimented life for the next nine months, but I am pretty kicked about it. I want to do justice to the film and to Saina."

Parineeti also announced that, "Hi everyone, we have NOT started the shoot of #Saina yet. I am still learning how to play Badminton! We will start in October once I get better at it!! 4 MONTHS TO GO! #Saina @TSeries"
