‘Saina’ biopic: Badminton fans notice a blooper in Parineeti Chopra’s poster – Times of India
The poster featured a hand with a tricolour wrist band throwing a shuttlecock in the air, ready to serve. While Chopra’s fans couldn’t hold back their excitement to see the film, badminton fans took to Twitter to point out a major blooper.
Many pointed out that the poster shows what appears to be a tennis serve, and not the actions for badminton serve. While acknowledging that the poster may have been created in a way that the title is fashioned into a shuttlecock, many couldn’t help but ask, “Wait, I’m confused… Tennis or badminton?”
