‘I don’t want to be eye-candy’ : Disha Patani

TIL Desk Bollywood/ From cricket to Kung Fu, Disha Patani seems to love being in sporty movies. After we saw her in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, she will make her international debut with Kung Fu Yoga, starring Jackie Chan along with Sonu Sood and Amyra Dastur.

Unlike other newcomers, Disha doesn’t have a wishlist of actors she wants to work with. But there is a film she’d love to be cast in! “I want to be a part of Avengers; they can make me the Hulk! I want to do a superhero film,” she gushes.

But for now, she’s excited about Kung Fu Yoga, coming up for release on February 3. Everyday was a new learning. When I went on set the first day, they gave me a harness and asked me to jump from a height. I had to fall down, do a somersault and then hang on to a rope — that was my first day of shoot. But it was really exciting, just the fact that I was doing something different. Because in Bollywood, we don’t have so much action for girls, unfortunately.
