The grapevine was abuzz with talk of Disha Patani walking out of YRF’s project, Hrithik v/s Tiger due to Hrithik Roshan's reportedly flirtatious behavior. But sources close to Patani have nipped the rumours in the bud. Terming the reportage irresponsible, the source clarified that the Bharat actor was not even offered a role in the Yash Raj Films project opposite Hrithik Roshan, in the first place, contrary to the speculation doing the rounds.
Hrithik, too, took to Twitter to shut down the false reports.
My dear friend, “Journalist”, do you workout? Get a little gym. All garbage will be removed from mind! Especially twenty donkey kicks, twenty monkey rolls & 2 dog jumps will be right for you. Sure you will Good luck. Good day And love you to :)Hrithik Roshan via Twitter
‘Bhaskar bhaisaab? Where are you? Recent moves all? All okay? Look at this tweet from my side for the progress of your shop. Next time, Need help, then speaking directly to me.Hrithik Roshan via Twitter
Disha Patani also released a statement and said, “Hrithik one of the most dignified people I have met”. She rubbished reports claiming that Hrithik Roshan flirted with her.
There is some childish and irresponsible gossip about Hrithik sir and me doing the rounds. I would like to say that it’s completely untrue and in the minimum interaction that I have had with him, he has been one of the most dignified and joyful people. It’s my regard for him as a person that is making me even respond to something this trivial. There is no truth in me walking out of any project with him.Disha Patani
A newcomer, Disha would never pass up an opportunity to work with a big banner like YRF or the chance to star opposite Hrithik Roshan, added the source from the actor’s inner circle. The superstar even features among the top names of her list of actors she’d like to work with.
Patani is currently busy with the filming of Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat which is her next release. She recently unveiled her character’s name in the movie, Radha. She is set to play a trapeze artist in the film. Bharat also features Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Tabu and Sunil Grover.
