“I’m a person who gets bored easily,” says Disha Patani

Disha Patani certainly needs no introduction! Ever since she debuted with filmmaker Neeraj Pandey’s M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016), the actress has been working consistently to cement her position in the industry. Most recently seen in superstar Salman Khan’s blockbuster film Bharat (2019), Disha is currently busy shooting for two high-profile films which feature her in completely different avatars.

The actress has always chosen unconventional roles and scripts as she feels that challenging oneself every day helps one discover something amazing about oneself. Ask the actress what keeps her so motivated, she replies, “I am a person who gets bored easily. For my mind to be engaged at one pace, to be doing the same thing, again and again, is very hard. The thing I love about my job is that every day involves a new challenge – sometimes you have to dance, sometimes you have to do an emotional thing, sometimes it is something else. It is always very exciting for me. It keeps me involved and engaged all the time.”

Talking about her upcoming projects, Disha Patani will next be seen in filmmaker Mohit Suri’s much-awaited film Malang. Also starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Kunal Khemu and Anil Kapoor in important roles, the romantic film is slated to enter theatres on 14th February, 2020. Malang is expected to be followed by content czarina Ekta Kapoor's next production venture, KTina.

Disha is also reuniting with superstar Salman Khan. She is playing the female lead in his forthcoming film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. Directed by choreographer-turned-filmmaker Prabhudheva, the action entertainer is scheduled to hit the marquee on Eid 2020.
