There's not much information available about Gavankar's role in the Borderlands movie, but the character's name is a bit of a hint. She'll be playing Commander Knoxx, a relative of the General Knoxx who commands the Crimson Lance faction that appeared in the original Borderlands DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx.

According to Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford, Commander Knoxx is indeed General Knoxx's daughter and is a leader in the Crimson Lance – Atlas' own private mercenary army.
