Meet most successful actress in Bollywood, gave Rs 2200 crore blockbuster, not Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai, Katrina Kaif
Bollywood has names of actors and actresses who came from different backgrounds and tried their luck in cinema. While many succeeded, others failed. One such actress who started her career in Bollywood was Disha Patani. Disha, who was studying engineering in Lucknow, when she developed a keen interest in acting during her college days. Hence, she thought of moving to Mumbai. When the actress came to Mumbai, she had only Rs 500. It became tough for her to survive in the expensive city. However, she never gave up. Finally, in 2015, she got her break. She started her acting journey with the Telugu film Loafer, which also starred Varun Tej. However, the movie did not do well at the box office. Following Loafer's failure, Disha made headlines when she made her Bollywood debut with the film M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story. Based on the life of ace cricketer Dhoni, Disha played the role of Priyanka Jha, who was the cricketer's first girlfriend. Disha was paired opposite late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who reprised the role of Dhoni. Though Disha's screen time was limited, it made an impact on the audience. She was hailed for her performance and even became a national crush. Two years later, in 2017, Disha Patani was seen in the Indo-Chinese film Kung Fu Yoga. This was an action-comedy film directed by Stanley Tong. Famous actor Jackie Chan was in the lead role in this film, and Disha was also a part of it. The movie was well received and got massive love in the international market rather than in China. The film earned 99.9 percent of its earnings from the international market. The rest of the earnings came from China. It was considered a box office blockbuster. According to Box Office Mojo, Kung Fu Yoga earned 3 lakh 62 thousand US dollars, i.e., 3 crores in Indian rupees, from China. Whereas from the international market, this film earned 257.380 million dollars, i.e., 2202 crores rupees. The total worldwide collection of the film was $257.743 million. In Indian rupees, this figure is Rs 2205 crore. This marked the highest earning of Disha Patani's career.

This Dilip Kumar heroine whom Jeetendra refused to work with, he asked the director to cast someone else, the actress then..., her name is... Mumtaz began her acting career at a very young age. Initially, she worked as a background dancer and then acted in supporting roles for few years. After she bagged her first lead role in Faulad (1963), the actress catapulted to fame and starred in several hit films including Khilona, Loafer, Aap Ki Kasam and more. The veteran actress recently shared an anecdote about her early career during an interview. Mumtaz revealed that she was cast as the lead actress opposite Jeetendra in the 1967 film Boond Jo Ban Gayee Moti. However, Jeetendra wasn't happy with director V Shantaram's decision to cast her the film. While speaking to Radio Nasha Offical, the actress recalled how Shantaram went against Jeetendra's decision, and asked him to leave the film if he doesn't want to work with her. Mumtaz recalled, 'He said, 'Why are you taking Mumtaz?' Shantaram said, 'I think she has got all the qualities of becoming a heroine. She is beautiful, she dances well, she is a good actress and I like her'. Jeetu was like 'No, no. Can't we cast someone else?' Shantaram told him, 'She will be the heroine. If you don't want to do it, then you can leave the film.' Mumtaz revealed that initially Shantaram's daughter Rajshree was hired to do the film, but she quit the project as she was planning to get married. However, ignoring all his objections, Shantaram went ahead and cast Mumtaz as the lead actress. While looking into the camera, Mumtaz apologised to Jeetendra for exposing this, 'I am sorry Jeetu that I am saying that, but that's what's true.' She said. In the same conversation, Mumtaz appreciated Dilip Kumar and Mehmood for guiding her in the early days of her career. She shared that no superstar was ready to work with her back then but Dilip Kumar trusted her and cast her in Ram Aur Sham. She said, 'Dilip Kumar looked at the reel and said, 'She is beautiful and she dances well. I will do the film with her.' I'm very thankful to him. When he agreed to do the film with me that's why I could become an actor. If he would have said 'no', I couldn't have become an actor.' Mumtaz added, 'When he agreed to do the film with me, nobody else refused. Everybody worked with me after that.'
