Sampath Nandi’s film rolls out

Director Sampath Nandi’s sports drama, starring Gopichand and Tamannaah, was officially launched at Rama Naidu studios recently. While the actor will be seen playing a coach to the Andhra female kabaddi team, Tamannaah plays the team coach for Telangana.

“This is the first time I am doing a sports-based film and I did a lot of research for it. It’s not just about Kabaddi, there are a lot of emotions and a strong story too,” says Sampath.  Apparently, the director roped in 25 kabaddi players for the film, all of who are training at a local stadium in Hyderabad.

Interestingly, this is Tamannah’s third film with the director. “I wanted to work with Gopichand from a long time and now, it is happening with this film,” says Tamannaah, adding that her character has a lot of scope for performance.
