In a throwback statement, Disha Patani addressed the rumors surrounding Hrithik Roshan’s supposed “flirty” actions on the sets of the movie War. The talented actress dismissed these claims as “irresponsible gossip,” expressing her respect for Roshan as a dignified and joyful individual.
Despite these clarifications, speculations about Patani’s exit from the film continue to circulate, leaving fans curious about the actual reasons behind her departure.
Disha Patani’s Unveiled Statement on Hrithik Roshan’s Alleged Behavior
Initially, it was reported that Disha Patani had been the first choice for the female lead opposite Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff in the blockbuster film War. Renowned for her immense popularity and stunning screen presence, Patani was expected to bring an added touch of glamour to the movie.
However, for reasons best known to the parties involved, she ultimately opted out of the project. Siddharth Anand helmed the film, which was produced by Yash Raj Films and turned out to be a resounding success at the box office.
After Disha Patani’s exit from War, rumors began to circulate suggesting that the actress felt “uncomfortable” due to Hrithik Roshan’s alleged flirtatious behavior during the shooting. Both actors, however, were swift in refuting these claims, emphasizing that there was no truth to the speculations.

Disha Patani’s Departure from War: Unraveling the Speculations
In 2018, Disha Patani released a statement to address the issue, stating unequivocally, “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.”
Hrithik Roshan also took to Twitter to counter the news, injecting a hint of humor into his response. He playfully wrote, “Bhaskar bhaisaab? Kahan ho? Haal chaal sab? Sab theek? Dekhiye aapki dukaan ki pragati ke liye mere taraf ye Tweet. Next time seedhe bol dena ki help chhaiye.” (Translation: “Mr. Bhaskar, where are you? How are things going? Everything okay? Take this tweet from me to boost your store’s progress. Next time, just ask for help directly.”)
Continuing his light-hearted banter, Roshan added, “मेरे प्यारे मित्र ‘पत्रिका जी”, कसरत करते हो? थोड़ा gym जाओ। mind से सारा कचरा निकल जाएगा! ख़ासकर बीस donkey किक्स, बीस monkey रोल & 2 dog jumps आप के लिए सही रहेगा। ज़रूर कीजिएगा। गुड luck. गुड day. And लव you टू 🙂 (My dear friend ‘Matrik ji’, do you exercise? Go get some gym time. All the garbage will be removed from the mind! Especially twenty donkey kicks, twenty monkey rolls & 2 dog jumps will be right for you. Sure do it. Good luck. Good day And love you too :))”
Coming back, War 2 has already been announced and it will be helmed by Brahmastra director Ayan Mukerji.
