Parineeti Chopra had not watched any of Saina Nehwal matches before preparing for her role.
Director Amol Gupte had advised Parineeti Chopra to watch matches of Saina Nehwal so that she could prepare better for her role.
Director Amol Gupte was upset with Sharddha Kapoor as she was delaying the film and preferring other projects in favor of this film which she had signed much later.
Sharrman Dey and Rohan Apte who're playing the roles of Damodar and Rohan respectively, were also Assistant directors on the film.
Sharddha Kapoor was the original choice for the role and met Saina Nehwal to prepare for her role and also her family members.But left the film in March 2019 after she couldn't devote her time for the film due to her other big projects like Street Dancer 3D,Chhichhore,Baaghi 3 and Saaho.
