Actress Sobhita Dhulipala said she got jealous of her male Bard of Blood co-stars as they got to do more action sequences. In the upcoming Netflix series, Sobhita will be essaying the role of Isha Khanna, a spy. Based on Bilal Siddiqui's book The Bard Of Blood, the show is set against the backdrop of the Indian sub-continent. The multi-lingual series will tell the story of an expelled spy, Kabir Anand, who is recalled from his new life as a professor in Panchgani to save his country and long-lost love. Netflix’s Bard Of Blood: Sobhita Dhulipala aka Isha Khanna Is All Set to Take On a Secret Mission in Balochistan!

"My character tries very hard and goes out of her way to be accepted in that male-dominated world, but in the process of that she is so touching and the simple fact that there is a certain sensitivity I guess, that comes from being a woman which actually comes very handy. It's almost like she nurtures a broken bond between these two guys and also witnesses herself evolve," Sobhita said. ‘Bard of Blood’: Pakistan Army Slams Shah Rukh Khan for Netflix Spy Thriller
