The first poster of the long anticipated biopic based on the renowned badminton player Saina Nehwal was dropped on Tuesday. The movie titled ‘Saina’ stars Parineeti Chopra, Paresh Rawal and Manav Kaul and is set to hit the theatres on 26 March.
The poster was shared on Tuesday and it depicts a hand reaching out in the air as a shuttle hangs above it, presumably to show a badminton player readying to serve. However, the serve looks much like that of a tennis player’s and not so much a badminton player’s.
The rules of Badminton while serving are simple and straight: the serve should always be done underarm and below the server’s waist and an overarm serve is against the basic rules of badminton, and would be considered a fault. However, in the poster the hand reaches out to the shuttlecock like a tennis player would.
While Bollywood has a habit of defying logic, Twitter users did not hold back to lash out at this mistake, with many asking if the makers of the movie thought instead that was on the tennis player Sania Mirza, and not Saina Nehwal’s.
Take a look at what the twitter users had to say in response:
