She made headlines for bagging the badminton champ Saina Nehwal biopic, but made even more noise when she bowed out of the project midway, which is directed by Amole Gupte. While the episode led to negativity around then, nothing seems to have spoilt the equation between the director and the actor.

In conversation with Bombay Times, Amole mentioned that he was left impressed with Shraddha’s hardwork and would like to team up with her once again. He elaborated saying, “Shraddha is someone who put in a lot of efforts, which is why we could start the first day with her.”

Impressed with her process of transformation, Amole adds, “The way she tuned herself, like coming in at 5.30 am to Sion or Dharavi for the practice is commendable.”

Shraddha made noise during her abrupt exit from the project, shocking everyone as she was amidst her prep. Talking about the reason behind her exit, the filmmaker who earlier directed movies like Stanley Ka Dabba (2011), Hawa Hawaai (2014) and worked as a Creative Director on Taare Zameen Par (2007), cleared the air saying, “It was unfortunate that she got the dengue attack. By the time she came out of it there were people who already lined up for her next assignment. How long could a project wait and that’s when we brought in Parineeti Chopra to essay the part of Saina.”
