Disha Patani is making headlines internationally as she steps into Hollywood with Holiguards, a supernatural action-thriller that also marks the return of Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey to the director’s chair after more than 20 years. The film, currently in post-production, was shot extensively in Mexico and boasts an impressive ensemble cast. Yet, it’s Disha who’s grabbing all the attention with her dynamic presence in her first Hollywood venture.

Disha's role in Holiguards

Holiguards brings together a powerhouse of talent, including action legend Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV, The Expendables), Tyrese Gibson of Fast & Furious fame, and Brianna Hildebrand, known for her roles in Deadpool and Lucifer. Despite sharing screen time with such established stars, Disha’s performance is already being highlighted as a standout. The film is part of a larger cinematic universe titled Statiguards vs. Holiguards, and it promises adrenaline-fueled action with a supernatural twist. With buzz building during post-production, anticipation is high for its official release.

Fueling the excitement, a behind-the-scenes shot of Disha from the film’s set recently surfaced online and quickly went viral. The photo sparked a wave of fan speculation and praise, with many applauding her Hollywood transformation. Reports confirm that the cast was filming in Durango, Mexico which is a major hub for international film shoots, marking a significant milestone in Disha’s career.

An industry insider shared, “Disha was in Durango as early as January this year, filming the pilot episode alongside Tyrese Gibson and Harry Goodwins. The footage we’ve seen is visually stunning, and Disha’s scenes in particular are breathtaking. Audiences are in for something truly spectacular.”

While her Hollywood debut is already generating global buzz, Disha hasn’t slowed down on the home front either. She’s set to return to Indian theatres with Welcome to the Jungle, the third installment of the beloved Welcome comedy franchise. Scheduled for a 2025 release, the film features an ensemble cast and is expected to be one of the year’s biggest entertainers.
