The makers of ‘Saina’ were earlier contemplating on a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime. However, Amole Gupte directorial and the sport biopic, is all set to release in the cinema halls as the makers have reversed their plans. A source close to the project told Pinkvilla, “With cinema halls opening up with 100% occupancy in most places, the producers felt that it’s best to bring Saina on the big screen considering that it’s tells the story of a sporting iconic that deserves to be enjoyed in the cinema halls.”

Saina is produced by Bhushan Kumar under the banner of T-Series.

On the professional front, Parineeti was last seen in the Netflix release Girl on the Train. She also has Dibakar Banerjee directorial, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar co-starring Arjun Kapoor which will arrive just a week before Saina.
