Bollywood actress Disha Patani was born in Uttar Pradesh, India. In 2015, Rupali entered the world with the Telugu movie ‘Loafer’. Varun Tej was his hero in it. The next year ’M. S. Dhoni entered Bollywood through the movie ’Untold Story’. This actress is very popular in the movie.
Disha Patani acted in a Chinese movie in 2017. However, this actress could not make any special mark in the movie. After a year’s break, he acted in the Bollywood movie ‘Welcome to New York’. He is seen in a cameo role. So Disha did not get a chance to match herself in this movie.
In 2018, Disha got an opportunity to act in the movie ‘Baaghi 2’. He is seen opposite Tiger Shroff in it. After its release, the movie received great response at the box office. Disha also received a lot of praise for her performance.
From 2019 to 2022, Disha Patani acted in the movies ‘Bharat’, ’Malang’, ‘Radhe’, ‘Ek Villain Returns’. He did not act in any movie in 2023. His movie ‘Joddha’ released in 2024. But this actress could not respond even with a movie.
After 9 years, Disha Patani created a lot of discussion by acting in a southern movie again. This movie titled ‘Kalki’ was released on June 27 this year. The movie starring Prabhas took the box office by storm.
After the release of ‘Kalki’, Disha Patani signed another southern movie. Siva has directed this movie titled ‘Konguva’ in Tamil language. Suriya, the popular actor of southern cinema, acted opposite Disha. This movie with a budget of Rs 300-350 crore is scheduled to release in theaters on November 14. Film analysts are also optimistic about this movie.
After almost a decade, Disha Patani acted in consecutive southern films. As a result, the question in the minds of many is that Disha is relying on southern cinema rather than Bollywood? Although the question is relevant, this actress did not say two words about it.
Indian cinema has an important place in the world market. Bollywood once led the Indian film industry but now it is in the hands of the southern film industry. Bollywood has lagged behind due to various reasons including low quality story, making, use of technology, promotion strategy.
As a result, many Bollywood stars are turning to the southern film industry. A few days ago, Sridevi’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor made her debut in the southern film industry with the Telugu film ‘Debara’. He got positive response by performing in it.
Apart from that, Bollywood’s Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan have been involved in some southern movies. In this situation, film analysts feel that Disha’s reliance on the southern film industry is not surprising.

Interview Between Time.news Editor and Film Expert
Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we have with us a prominent film expert, Mr. Ravi Sharma, who will help us unpack the recent developments in Disha Patani’s career. Disha has made quite the splash in the film industry lately, especially with her return to South Indian cinema. Thank you for joining us, Mr. Sharma!
Mr. Sharma: Thank you for having me! It’s great to discuss Disha Patani’s journey and her impact on cinema.
Editor: Disha started her career in 2015 with the Telugu film “Loafer.” Over the years, she has transitioned through various films, both in Bollywood and South cinema. What do you think has contributed to her popularity?
Mr. Sharma: Disha’s rise can be attributed to a combination of factors. Her debut in “Loafer” showcased her potential, but it was her role in “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story” that significantly boosted her visibility. The film’s success captured the attention of audiences, positioning her as a budding star in Bollywood. Moreover, her ability to take on diverse roles—ranging from action to emotional dramas—has resonated well with fans.
Editor: It seems her recent movie “Kalki” marked a significant return to Southern cinema after nearly a decade. Why do you think this return is noteworthy?
Mr. Sharma: Disha’s return to South Indian films is a critical move. The South film industry is known for its strong narratives and box-office successes, with dedicated fan bases. “Kalki,” co-starring Prabhas, has received a fantastic response. This transition implies that Disha is looking to expand her reach and solidify her position in both Bollywood and South cinema. It’s an indication of how versatile and adaptive she is to different cinematic environments.
Editor: Speaking of versatility, her upcoming film “Konguva” seems to be generating a lot of excitement. With a budget of Rs 300-350 crore and starring Suriya, what does this film say about Disha’s current standing in the industry?
Mr. Sharma: The investment in “Konguva” and her co-star choice speaks volumes about Disha’s growing stature. Working alongside an established star like Suriya elevates her status in the industry. This collaboration could potentially enhance her appeal in Tamil cinema significantly. Analysts are optimistic because Southern films are currently setting impressive box office records, and if “Konguva” performs well, it could solidify Disha’s position as a leading actress in both sectors.
Editor: There’s been some speculation about whether Disha is leaning more towards Southern cinema than Bollywood. How do you view this?
Mr. Sharma: The question is quite relevant. Given the challenges she faced in Bollywood in recent years, it’s understandable for her to explore opportunities in the South, where her contributions are being recognized and rewarded more generously. However, she has yet to publicly address this shift. It raises interesting discussions about actors diversifying their portfolios based on industry dynamics.
Editor: Indeed, Disha’s journey reflects many broader trends within Indian cinema. As someone with a keen eye on the industry, what do you feel is the future for actresses like Disha in a rapidly evolving film landscape?
Mr. Sharma: The future is promising for actresses like Disha, especially as cinema becomes increasingly global. With streaming platforms expanding and regional films gaining international traction, there is ample opportunity for actresses to break geographical barriers and explore diverse roles. Disha, like many of her contemporaries, is at the forefront of this transformation, and her next choices will be crucial in further shaping her career.
Editor: Fascinating insights, Mr. Sharma! Disha Patani’s career trajectory is certainly one to watch. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us today.
Mr. Sharma: Thank you! It was a pleasure discussing this with you. I look forward to seeing how Disha’s journey unfolds!
