Parineeti Chopra starrer Saina to hit big screens on 26th March 2021

By Murtuza Iqbal

Due to the pandemic, many films have got a direct-to-digital release, and there were reports that Parineeti Chopra starrer Saina will also release on an OTT platform. However, the reports have turned out to be false, and the movie will be getting a theatrical release.


Today, the makers have announced the release date of the film. It will be hitting the big screens on 26th March 2021.

T-Series took to Instagram to make an announcement about it. They posted, “Presenting the inspiring story of one of India’s greatest athletes, #Saina. In cinemas on 26th March. @parineetichopra @nehwalsaina #AmoleGupte @manavkaul @eshan.naqvi #BhushanKumar #DeepaBhatia @sujay.jairaj #RaseshShah #KrishanKumar @amaal_mallik @manojmuntashir @kunaalvermaa @tseries.official @tseriesfilms #FrontFootPictures #AGCPL.”

They also tweeted an announcement video, giving us a small glimpse of what the movie is going to offer. T-Series tweeted, “Get ready for our upcoming movie, based on the life of India’s badminton champion #Saina. In cinemas on 26th March. Watch now - https://bit.ly/Saina-DateAnnouncement @ParineetiChopra @NSaina #AmoleGupte @Manavkaul19 @eshannaqvi #BhushanKumar @deepabhatia11 @sujay_jairaj @raseshtweets.”

Saina is a biopic on badminton player Saina Nehwal. The movie is directed by Amole Gupte. Earlier, Shraddha Kapoor was supposed to play the lead role in the film, but later Pairneeti Chopra replaced her. Well, it will surely be interesting to watch Saina Nehwal’s journey on the big screen.

Meanwhile, Parineeti is currently busy garnering praises for her performance in the recently released flick The Girl On The Train. The movie was released on Netflix a few days ago.

The actress also has films like Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Animal in her kitty. The former is slated to release on 19th March 2021, and the latter will hit the big screens on Dusshera 2022.

India says Dalai Lama alone can decide successor

A SENIOR Indian minister has said that only the Dalai Lama and the organisation he has established have the authority to decide his successor as the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. The comment runs contrary to China’s long-standing position on the matter.

The Dalai Lama, who fled to India in 1959 following a failed uprising against Chinese rule, said on Wednesday that after his death he would be reincarnated as the next spiritual leader, and that only the Gaden Phodrang Trust would be able to identify his successor. He had earlier said that the next Dalai Lama would be born outside China.

Video game sales plunge 25% among young players

Key points

  • Young adults aged 18–24 have cut video game spending by nearly 25%
  • Rising game and console prices are key factors behind the drop
  • Free-to-play games dominate usage, replacing premium titles
  • Industry faces growing pressure as live service titles saturate the market
  • Similar trends expected in UK due to parallel consumer habits

Young players cut back as gaming becomes pricier

Video game spending among young adults in the US has fallen sharply, with new data showing a nearly 25% decline compared to last year. Analysts point to increasing game and console prices, combined with the popularity of free-to-play titles, as the main reasons behind the drop.

The trend is most pronounced among 18 to 24-year-olds, who are spending significantly less across multiple consumer categories — but none more so than gaming. This raises fresh concerns for an industry already facing stagnation in demand and shifting player behaviour.
