Why Fans Think Alia Is Prepping for a Biopic
Over the past several months, Alia Bhatt has been regularly spotted on paddle and pickleball courts. Paddle, often mistaken for lawn tennis, is played with solid rackets on a smaller enclosed court.
Because of these sightings, fans quickly began speculating that Alia might be preparing for a Sania Mirza biopic, reasoning that her newfound passion for racket sports could be role-related.
However, no filmmaker, studio, or Alia herself has confirmed such a project.

Paddle vs. Tennis: Clearing the Confusion
One key reason behind the biopic rumors is a simple misunderstanding. Many fans assumed Alia was playing tennis. In reality, she’s been playing paddle (also called padel or pickleball).
Unlike tennis:
- Paddle uses smaller rackets without strings.
- The court is enclosed with walls.
- The game is designed for quick rallies and less strain.
So while the sport looks similar, paddle is very different from professional lawn tennis—the game Sania Mirza mastered.
Fitness, Not Filmmaking
Reports suggest Alia plays paddle mainly as part of her fitness and recreation routine, not film prep. Paddle is increasingly popular among celebrities for its cardio benefits and low injury risk.
Meanwhile, Alia is focused on her major upcoming release: YRF’s Spy Universe film “Alpha”, slated for December 2025. This makes it unlikely she’s preparing for a sudden unannounced biopic at the same time.
Why the Rumor Feels Believable
Bollywood has produced many successful sports biopics (Mary Kom, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, MS Dhoni), so fans are quick to imagine another—especially with an actress of Alia’s stature.
But until there’s an official confirmation, the Sania Mirza biopic remains pure speculation.
Alia Bhatt’s recent paddle sessions are more about fitness and fun than prepping for a Sania Mirza biopic. While the rumors stirred excitement, the reality is simpler—Alia is staying fit, exploring new hobbies, and preparing for her confirmed projects like Alpha.
For now, fans should wait for a filmmaker’s announcement before believing the buzz.
