"Disha is the first heroine who walked up to me and said, I want to do more action, beat up people, perform stunts, kick some bu*t. Just the way boys do it in your films I want to be the hero'," Mohit said.
On Disha's character in the movie, Mohit said: "While'Malang' brought Disha's freespirited avatar to light, this one will showcase her as an integral part of the action-franchise."
