​​Disha Patani rejects R.Balki's 'Mangalyaan' opposite Akshay Kumar? Here's why?

The gorgeous Disha Patani is on the roll these days after giving a hit film 'Baaghi 2' post her debut film 'M.S.Dhoni' the actress has turned selective while making films' choices. If reports are to be believed than Disha has turned down R.Balki's next, titled 'Mangalyaan' opposite Akshay Kumar.

Reason for her opting out of the project is that she had less meaty role. Reportedly, the film will star four female leads and the major role is played by Vidya Balan and Disha's role did not interest her so the lady opted out of the film. Reportedly, a source said that Disha was quite excited to work with R.Balki and was happy to get a chance to work with him so early but when she learnt about other girls in the film, she changed her mind and turned down the offer.

Akshay Kumar was also one of the reasons why she wanted to do the film but then she was not ready to work with the other three girls.

Disha Patani finds a role model in this actress

Disha Patani is currently basking in the huge success of her last outing ‘Baaghi 2’ opposite Tiger Shroff. Unlike her debut ‘MS Dhoni- The Untold Story’, this movie has fetched her immense accolades and screen time which has resulted in her getting a better exposure in the eyes of the audience.

Soon she will start her upcoming big-budget epic saga titled ‘Sanghamitra’ which has been creating a lot of buzz in the media. According to reports, Disha recently revealed how she totally idolises actress Deepika Padukone. She allegedly said that Deepika’s acting prowess and personality is something that she really looks up to and if given a chance she would totally want to be like her.

Disha apparently very focused on developing her own brand value. In fact, she wants everyone who is in Deepika’s team to work with her. Reports further suggest that Disha has already got Deepika's hairstylist on board and has asked the management team to get others from the 'Padmaavat' actress's team to work with her.
