Tamannaah to play Kabbadi coach in Sampath Nandi film

Gopichand and Tamannaah Bhatia have been signed up to play the lead roles in the upcoming Sampath Nandi directorial. The film is touted to be a sports drama and we hear that Tamannaah will be playing a Kabbadi coach in it.

Tamannaah is very excited about her role in this untitled film. Speaking about it, she had said in an interview to the Deccan Chronicle, “I feel that coaching is an underrated aspect of any professional sport and that is why I find this film even more interesting. My role is a tribute of sorts to coaches like Pullela Gopichand, Ramakant Achrekar, Guru Hanuman, Satpal Singh and the likes who have turned things around for Indian sports.”

The actor will be undergoing rigorous training to get into the skin of the character considering the nature of her role. It may be noted that Tamannaah has worked with Sampath Nandi in Bengal Tiger earlier and therefore shares a good rapport with him. The film, which is touted to be a complete action entertainer, will be bankrolled by Chitturi Srinivas Rao under his banner.

While Tamannaah is gearing up to play the role in the Sampath Nandi directorial, she is expecting release of the Telugu magnum opus Sye Raa, scheduled for October 2. She is sharing the screen space with mega star Chiranjeevi in it. The actor also has the Tamil film titled Action with Vishal in the lead. She has another Tamil film Petromax in her kitty, which is directed by Rohin Venkatesan. Leo John Paul has edited the film with Ghibran composing the music. Petromax is the remake of the Telugu film Anando Brahma.

That is Mahalakshmi, which has Tamannaah reprising the role done by Kangana Ranaut in the original version Queen, is all set to hit the marquee soon.
