Disha Patani to make Hollywood debut with The Portal of Force
Disha Patani is expanding her international profile with a significant new project in the West.
The actor has landed a key role opposite Kevin Spacey in The Portal of Force, a large-scale supernatural action-thriller that marks the beginning of a new cinematic universe titled Statiguards vs. Holiguards Saga.
Spacey, who was once accused of sexual misconduct, is directing and also stars in the film, marking his return to directing after more than two decades.
Patani plays Jessica, a pivotal character at the centre of a secret war between two ancient rival factions. “I’ve waited with bated breath for the trailer of this very special project. Stepping into my first international outing was both thrilling and terrifying — but the scope to explore the craft was massive. Working with an experienced, diverse cast was an education in itself,” she said.
The cast also includes Dolph Lundgren, Tyrese Gibson, Brianna Hildebrand and Eric Roberts. The film is the first installment of the franchise, with Patani said to have a substantial role and several scenes opposite Spacey.
