The poster of Saina, a biopic on ace badminton player Saina Nehwal, was released by the makers on Tuesday. However, while it helped in creating the buzz, many social media users pointed out that it didn’t really look like the poster of a film which is about a badminton player. Many users were quick to observe that the shuttlecock seen in the poster only suggests an above-head serving by the player which is not the case with badminton players who do a below-the-waist serving in the game.
The poster of Saina shows a hand reaching out for the shuttlecock which is against the basic rule of badminton because the game only accepts an ‘underarm hitting action’ – a service that has been made in an upward direction. The ‘tennis style’ serve in which the player is making an overarm serve is considered a fault in the game of badminton.

While one user wrote, “Badminton ka serve neeche se hota hai. A tennis fan must have made the poster,” another user asked, “Is it Sania Mirza biopic or Saina Nehwal’s” (sic) Check out these tweets in which the Twitter users mocked the makers of Saina for confusing badminton with tennis:

This looks more like Sania and less of Saina looking at the position of the hand..
