Bollywood is full of cat-fights and rivalries. However, things have certainly changed in the last few years with some healthy competition amongst the Gen X actors. With more and more of multi-starrer films being made, one can sigh in relief seeing this cordial relationships shared by them. Ali Abbas Zafar’s next Bharat starring Salman Khan in the titular role also boasts of an ensemble cast which includes Katrina Kaif, Disha Patani, Nora Fatehi, Sunil Grover, Tabu among others. In an EXCLUSIVE chat with Disha, we asked her if having a female superstar like Katrina Kaif in a movie made her apprehensive of being overshadowed.
To this, Disha replied saying that she is very selfless when it comes to picking up projects and what matters to her the most is what she is playing and not the screen time. “Bharat is a different story altogether. It is about this man and his journey. So, I did not see a scope for all these things happening. For me, it doesn’t even matter if my part is very small. I always believe in doing something which leaves a mark.” She further added, “I am hoping people can relate to the character and live through that circus era which was there a few years back. I did not think of all these (of being overshadowed) things honestly, I was just too excited for the part and I am very selfless when it comes to choosing films or doing a particular role.”
“I always see what am I doing in the film, that's the most important thing. In fact, I am only happy to have worked with such a great ensemble cast. Who doesn’t want to work with such great actors? Salman Sir, Katrina Ma’am, or Tabu Ma’am, Sunil Grover, a lot of learning is involved,” she emphasized.
Bharat releases on June 5, 2019.
