Disha replaces Sara in Hero No 1. Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff are set to make a dynamic on-screen reunion, as confirmed by filmmaker Jagan Shakti, who has cast them in his upcoming project, "Hero No 1." Notably, Sara Ali Khan was initially selected for the role.
Addressing the reports of Disha stepping in for Sara, Jagan, known for his work on "Mission Mangal," stated, "Disha is the most suitable and fit choice for action. Sara was indeed considered for the role, but regrettably, we couldn't align our schedules."
"Hero No 1" is also rumored to be a two-heroine film, featuring Pashmina Roshan, Hrithik Roshan's cousin, as Tiger's romantic interest. It's important to note that this film is a standalone project and not a remake or sequel to the 1997 Govinda-starrer of the same name, directed by David Dhawan. The film is being produced by Jackky Bhagnani's production house.
Describing the film, a source previously revealed, "While the shooting is scheduled to commence in London in January 2024, Tiger has already completed an action sequence, and Sara and Pashmina will join him next year. Tiger had previously signed a three-film deal with Bhagnani’s production company, and 'Hero No 1' marks their third collaboration."
Disha and Tiger previously shared the screen in "Baaghi 2." Despite constant speculation about their relationship, they never officially confirmed it. They often made headlines for their close bond, going on Sunday lunch dates and spending time with each other's families. However, rumors about their breakup emerged last year, and they chose not to address the speculation.
It's rumored that Disha is currently dating her close friend Aleksander Alex Ilic, while Tiger is reportedly in a relationship with Deesha Dhanuka, an employee of Pooja Entertainment. Despite the alleged breakup, Disha and Tiger have maintained a cordial relationship.
