For Mohit Suri, success doesn’t equate to money. He believes in making films that helps him give out talent and stars to the industry. “You won’t be remembered by how much money you make, but you’ll be remembered for whatever you give back to the industry,” he states. The filmmaker who’s gearing up for the release of Malang says that with the film, he wants to show everyone a new version of Disha Patani. He says, “The whole world feels that Disha is just a pretty face and a hot body. She has something more in her. She’s got head and heart too.”

But ask him about her glamorous avatar in the film and Mohit says, “There is a perfect blend of glam quotient and bohemian vibe surrounding the character, both qualities which I could imagine Disha to complement effortlessly. The response to Disha’s role has been great so far. I’m sure the audience will be able to connect with her even more after watching Malang.”

He says that Disha is a shining example of an emotionally strong and carefree girl that made her fit the bill in Malang. He says, “Disha is a strong and fearless girl. So, she comprehended the character’s qualities very smoothly. Her character, Sara’s a free-spirited, wild-soul who lives life on her own terms and Disha suited this character the best.”

Talking about the women in his films, he says, “I believe women are emotionally stronger than men and have a better way of handling everything. I’ve been around women who’ve been strong inside-out and I really respect them for that. I guess it’s this very ideology that I’ve grown up with that translates on screen each time.”
