Seetimaarr, which stars Gopichand, is an action drama set against the backdrop of the sport of kabaddi. Bhatia will be seen in the role of head coach of the Telangana kabaddi team. The film is gearing up for release on 2 April.
In an interview with the Deccan Chronicle newspaper, Bhatia said she had never imagined she would get to play kabaddi in her life. She also said she had worked extremely hard to get under the skin of the character.
“It is imperative that I look extremely fit and lean and strong for such a character," she said. "So I trained hard and intensely for the role. It was physically and mentally challenging. The only issue was that I have never played the sport before. But I did everything I could to look the part.”
