Sonnalli Seygall is currently shooting for Vikram Bhatt’s upcoming web app, Anamika, which also features Sunny Leone. Sonnalli plays a trained assassin in the series. The show is special to the actor as it is the first project where she will be seen doing action series.
Regarding the preparation for the role and the new techniques she learned, Sonnalli says: ‘I play Rhea, a trained assassin, who has a killer instinct. She is extremely sharp and intelligent. There are many running, fighting and shooting series in the series. Therefore, I underwent a gun training, where I learned how to hold and use a gun. I had basic fitness training for the show. Coincidentally, I also traveled south before the show and wanted to learn some form of martial arts, so I learned Kalaripayattu. It definitely came in handy during the recording, as any form of martial arts gives you the right posture and body language. ”
Speaking more about the action records, she adds: ‘For the battle series we had trainers on set and in front of any scene there was a proper practice with all the equipment. Sunny and I practiced it over and over again. The training would take place under full professional guidance and supervision. Since I also do MMA and Calisthenics with my trainer, Saurav Rathore, which involves a lot of jumps, body rolls and body exercises, it also came in handy during my shooting. ”
The actor trained about two hours each day, which includes basic bodyweight training. ‘It helps me during the recording. I also do a lot of cardio. On the set, I practice 30 minutes for preparation before each action, ‘says Sonnalli, who does not believe it is the size of zero, but would like to stay fit.
‘Even during the exclusion, I made sure I worked out and stayed fit. But I am not someone who is very strict about the fact that I am a certain body type, because to me all sizes are beautiful. I put on some weight because I eat everything but I exercise. For this role, I had to look leaner, because as an assassin, you can not be on the heavier side. I had to be thin and agile, ”says Sonnalli.
