Disha Patani has carved out a name for herself in Bollywood with hits like Baaghi 2, M.S Dhoni-The Untold Story and Malang. The stunning actress has also delivered some of the most iconic statements in the field of fashion. The actress who is excited to headline Karan Johar-backed film Yodha, starring Sidharth Malhotra revealed in a recent interview that she wouldn’t have had an acting career, if not for Karan Johar.
At the Yodha trailer launch event on Thursday, Disha Patani expressed, “If I am an actress today, it is also because of Karan Johar; because he was the one who actually spotted me when I was modelling. I was just 18. I feel like I wouldn’t have been here, if he hadn’t spotted me at that time. So when people say whatever (hinting at nepotism)… I am an outsider. So I feel like this is the opportunity that he gave me”.
Reacting to this, Karan Johar replied, “I love you.” Meanwhile, Sidharth Malhotra who made his acting debut with Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year quipped, “Kya baat kar rahi ho Disha, main bhi (What are you saying Disha, me too).”
Sidharth Malhotra’s upcoming action thriller Yodha is one of the most eagerly anticipated Bollywood movies this year. The film, which also stars Raashii Khanna and Disha Patani, has been creating a lot of excitement. Recently, its official trailer was released on the internet and has been well received. Its trailer launch has made history in Hindi cinema for a unique reason. On February 29, the much-awaited official trailer of Yodha, starring Sidharth Malhotra, Disha Patani, and Raashii Khanna, was unveiled. It has become the first Hindi film to have an in-flight trailer launch. The trailer was launched mid-flight with several media personnel on board.
Disha Patani, the leading lady of the film, took to her Instagram stories to share some photos and videos of the launch. The flight was originally headed to Ahmedabad from Mumbai, with journalists scheduled to attend the press conference for the trailer launch of Yodha. Along with the film’s cast, producers Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Shashank Khaitan were also present on the flight.
The movie features Sidharth Malhotra as Arun Katyal, a patriotic Indian soldier who refuses to negotiate with the enemy, takes preemptive action in combat, and is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for his nation.
The poster of Yodha was also released in a similar manner, while the team behind the film was in mid-air, en route to Dubai.
In the two-minute and forty-nine-second trailer, Sidharth Malhotra’s character, Arun Katyal, is portrayed as a proud son who witnessed his father’s service in the Indian Army. Despite being unjustly suspended and labelled a traitor, Arun remains dedicated to protecting his country.
Following the success of the National Award-winning film Shershaah, Yodha marks the next major collaboration between Amazon Prime, Dharma Productions, and Sidharth Malhotra. Directed by debutants Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha, the action thriller follows Arun Katyal, the commanding officer of an elite unit, Yodha Task Force, on a thrilling rescue mission. Produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Shashank Khaitan, Yodha will grace the theatres on March 15.
