Hyderabad, March 2 (IANS): Actress Sobhita Dhulipala has been roped in for an important role in director Sashi Kiran's Major.

Sobhita says her character in the bilingual film is impeccably detailed.

"The arc of my character in Major is impeccably detailed and done with honesty.

Goodachari, my debut film in Telugu went on to become a critical and commercial success, so it is doubly wonderful for me to reunite with the same team for a film as feisty as Major," Sobhita said.

"I am happy to collaborate with Sobitha after our Telugu superhit Goodachari. It is exciting that we are doubling our challenges for a Major in Hindi," Kiran says.
