Disney's New Breakout Star

Rapper, drummer, dancer, and most recently, star of the new Disney remake, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, Swayam Ranjeet Bhatia aka Sway is a jack of all trades. And she’s only 13 years old! Naturally, we had to get the inside scoop on all things Disney and being such a ~talented~ star at such a young age. We spoke to Sway and let’s just say, she’ll blow you away... (you reckon Disney give out roles for rhyming?).

Cosmo: How were you introduced to this world? Is this something that you discovered once you found out about the possibility of the new TV show?

Swayam Ranjit Bhatia: “Honestly, as a figure skater, it was always recommended to me. I had never actually watched the movie before the audition. But as soon as I got the audition, it was the perfect chance to start watching the franchise. I watched the first movie before my first audition and got instantly hooked onto the whole storyline. I think it’s a really empowering message about bringing the underdog team to the championship. And I think that is super-important. It honestly gave me the confidence [I needed] for the audition.”
