Actress Disha Patani says she is not looking for being the best in the industry and doesn’t aim to be a superstar.

Asked if she fears failure, Disha told us over the phone from Mumbai: “I think the most amazing thing about me joining the Bollywood industry…I never aim to be a superstar, I never believe to be like the best. That’s not what I am looking for.”

“I love to work, I love the camera and I like to act. I want to do different kind of things in acting and doing a film doesn’t only include acting, it includes dancing and many other things.”

Disha, who made her acting debut in 2015 with the film “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story”, added that she likes the whole aura about shooting on a set, and never thinks about failure and success.

“I understand that you cannot always be on the top or be the best. It’s not in my mind right now. Maybe, I think it is too early. I am just a film old,” she said.

The 24-year-old says she is only thinking about doing good films and “parts that people would remember”.

Indian film critics pick ‘Dangal’ as 2016’s best film

We just saw the Salman Khan starrer galloping past 500 crore mark. It is slated to cross Bollywood’s biggest grosser ever – PK, an Aamir Khan-starrer. But the fan frenzy one is witnessing for the latest Rajinikanth release beats them both hollow. The Rajini mania is way beyond all the three Khans put together.

Even before its release, Kabali has generated business of 200 crore. According to reports, Kabali released in 12,000-plus screens worldwide in 30 countries. Dubbed in five languages; it is the first time a Tamil film has also been released in Malay.

The revenge drama has witnessed endless pre-release publicity. For a change Rajini plays his age, a dapper gangster with salt and pepper hair and beard. Kabali attempts to recreate some history about Malaysian Tamils.

First Day First Night

The First Day First Show started in the wee hours of the morning; as the earliest show in Chennai started around (hold your breath) 4 o clock in the morning. Celebrations had begun on Thursday night itself. So Friday for the fans effectively started Thursday night as the celebrations began before midnight.

Huge crowds gathered around plazas and movie theatres and were seen having a gala time on the streets. The ticket counters were flooded and the fans were seen complaining about lack of tickets. Many offices in the states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu declared Kabali Day a holiday.

Few Rajini fans from Japan also flew down to Chennai to watch the film; such fan fervor throughout the day marked Kabali’s release. Be it the fantabulous personality, the classy walking style or the quick-witted dialogue delivery, the Thalaiva rules.

The mixed review by the critics notwithstanding the movie has already been declared a super hit. But anyway, a Rajinikanth film is just a medium to have a look at Rajini’s evergreen aura onscreen. Whatever the plotline, Rajini stands invincible.

The fans are just crazy to hear and repeat his easy-going dialogues, imitate his posture of sitting and having a cigar. They wait, rather too anxiously for the thrill of seeing the bad guys being broken down to pieces while the hero stands erect over their lifeless bodies in the climax.

Shah Rukh Khan believes Hollywood has done much better in the Indian market in comparison to their Bollywood counterparts. The Bollywood films have failed to impress on various fronts so far this year.

Be it script, screenplay or cinematography, Indian films have struggled to match the high standards set by movies like The Conjuring 2, Me Before You and X-Men: Apocalypse, to name a few.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has also pointed out the same, saying that the Indian films are required to up the ante, and need to get better in storytelling and technology to match the increased number of quality Hollywood movies coming in the Indian market.

“We are the biggest market in the world and it will be unfortunate if our Indian products (films) don’t do well in the Indian market and cinema can get a little affected not so fast but it can get affected,” Shah Rukh insisted.

The Badshah of Bollywood, meanwhile, applauded the local Indian cinema, which is doing pretty well, unlike other countries, where it has been overtaken by Hollywood films.

SRK also pointed out China’s example, where regional cinema is doing well, but the country has restrictions over the number of foreign films releasing in theaters, unlike India, which is a free market.

“We are the only country where our local Indian cinema is doing well in local areas,” Shah Rukh insisted. “We are the only country left. Otherwise in other counties, it is Hollywood films that are looked up to for commerce.”
