Photos: Shraddha Kapoor gets papped as she sweats it out in the gym

Shraddha Kapoor believes in getting into the skin of the character, quite literally. After putting on many kilos for Haseena Parkar, Shraddha has now begun to train for her next, a biopic on ace shuttler Saina Nehwal. Shraddha has started practicing the game and is also working on her fitness levels. She was spotted at the gym today looking fabulous.

Amole Gupte who will be helming the film was quoted saying, “She is currently going through an intensive regimen with Jitesh Padukone (former badminton player) and is practically transforming herself into Nehwal. She is committed. Playing Nehwal will not be easy, so I want Shraddha to be ready before we start rolling."

Shraddha is very excited about the film. She had said, “Most girls have played badminton at some point in their lives in school. I feel so lucky to be playing Saina, who’s not just been the world’s No. 1 badminton player, but is also a youth icon.” She added, "I have fallen in love with the sport. I look forward to my badminton sessions every day. I see young kids playing the sport amazingly, which is inspiring. It's a tough sport. Apart from being physically fit, you need to be mentally strong. It's going to be a challenging role for me”

Shraddha has had a busy 2017 with Half Girlfriend and Ok Jaanu releasing in the first half and Haseena Parkar up for release in the next month. Shraddha will be seen essaying the role of don Dawood Ibrahim’s sister. She will be working with brother Siddhant Kapoor in the film.
