Disha Patani Fades in Star-Studded Kalki
Those who played key roles certainly made their mark.
The movie 'Kalki' features an impressive number of characters, including a long list of guest appearances. Notable names like Vijay Devarakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, Mrunal Thakur, Rajamouli, Ram Gopal Varma and Anudeep KV all made appearances. Many actors also play character roles, and some of these cameos have been quite effective. Those who played key roles certainly made their mark.
However, Bollywood actress Disha Patani, who played the role of Roxy, failed to gain any significant recognition. Audiences felt that her role was insignificant, and her presence or absence in the movie did not make much difference. After watching the film, viewers talked about various characters and the actors who portrayed them, but there was little mention of Disha Patani.
In 'Kalki,' Disha played the love interest of Prabhas' character, Bhairava. However, their romance did not resonate with the audience. Director Nag Ashwin did not develop scenes that showcased the relationship between the two characters. There was a song featuring Prabhas and Disha, where she appeared glamorous, but it did not leave a lasting impact. Once the song ended, Disha’s character faded into the background and was quickly forgotten.
After leaving the theater, few people even remembered Disha's role. In contrast, Deepika Padukone, who played a key role, overshadowed even Prabhas. The entire story of 'Kalki' revolves around Deepika’s character, and her performance received widespread praise. Her strong portrayal made a significant impression, leaving Disha without much benefit from the film.
Ultimately, Disha Patani's role in 'Kalki' did not contribute to her career advancement. Despite her presence in a big-budget movie with an ensemble cast, she did not manage to stand out. This lack of impact highlights that even with a role in a high-profile film like 'Kalki,' Disha had no advantage in terms of career progression or financial gain.
