Amol Gupte on speculations of the digital poster of Saina
Badminton player Saina Nehwal and actor Parineeti Chopra shared the poster of the film. According to netizens, the poster is made incorrectly as in badminton, a service is made by either flying the shuttle in the air of holding it near the racket. However, in the poster, the hand of the girl is trying to reach out the shuttle like in tennis while reaching out to a ball. Several Instagram users commented saying that the poster is good but the graphic designer couldn't differentiate between the two games.
Writer and director Amol Gupte wrote a note about the same on his Facebook handle. He wrote that there are too many speculations on the internet where people have written that it looks like a tennis serve and 'Saina is doing a Sania'. However, he added, "If Saina is the flying shuttle, then clearly, the girl’s hand with the National colours wristband is the hand of the Indian Girl Child aspiring to reach Saina’s height." He wrote that the high concept poster is made by Rahul Nanda. He mentioned that it was unfortunate that he had to explain the poster after the reactions of the impatient world. He shared that people do not stop to think before speaking rubbish. Take a look at Amol Gupte's Facebook note.
