Disha Patani has recently set social media ablaze with a series of stunning bikini pictures, sparking speculation about a potential "rivalry" with Kiara Advani. This comes hot on the heels of the release of the War 2 teaser, where Advani is seen sporting a bikini, marking her first on-screen appearance in the swimwear.
Patani, known for her bold and glamorous style, shared photos of herself in a moss-green bikini during her Monte Carlo beach vacation. The pictures, showcasing her toned physique, quickly went viral, drawing comparisons to Advani's look in the War 2 teaser. Some fans and observers have suggested that Patani's post was timed to steal some of Advani's spotlight, creating a buzz around a supposed competition between the two actresses.
Adding fuel to the fire, some social media users pointed out that Patani's choice of a green bikini was a deliberate attempt to rival Advani, who was also seen in a green shimmering bikini in the War 2 teaser. Comments on Reddit and other platforms highlighted the timing of the post and the similarity in color, suggesting a competitive dynamic between the actresses. One user wrote, "She wore the same color to rival Kiara for sure," while another noted, "You see it's intentional considering the time of the post … late night … at 12 … the colour of the bikini matching Kiara."
However, other voices have dismissed the rivalry claims, pointing out that Patani is known for frequently posting bikini pictures and that the timing and color choice may be coincidental. Some fans defended Patani, arguing that she is simply expressing her personal style and that it is unfair to assume a competitive motive.
Regardless of the intentions, the simultaneous release of these bikini pictures has undoubtedly amplified the buzz around both actresses. Advani's appearance in the War 2 teaser has already generated significant excitement, with the actress herself acknowledging the "firsts" she experienced during the film, including her first YRF film, first action film, and first bikini shot.
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is the sixth film in the YRF Spy Universe and stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani in lead roles. The teaser, released on May 20, 2025, has already garnered over 21 million views on YouTube, despite some criticism regarding the VFX quality. The film is slated to release on August 14, 2025, coinciding with Independence Day weekend, and promises to be a high-octane action thriller shot across various international locations. The plot revolves around a battle of ideologies between Kabir (Hrithik Roshan), a RAW agent, and a new antagonist, Veerendra Raghunath (Jr NTR), a former RAW operative turned rogue. Kiara Advani plays Alia, a cybersecurity expert working for RAW.
Meanwhile, Disha Patani has several projects in the pipeline, including Welcome to the Jungle, scheduled for release in 2025. She also remains a popular choice for brand endorsements, representing top brands across fashion, beauty, wellness, and lifestyle.
Whether or not there is any truth to the rumored rivalry, both Disha Patani and Kiara Advani are currently enjoying significant attention and success in their respective careers. The War 2 teaser has created immense anticipation for Advani's upcoming film, while Patani continues to captivate audiences with her glamorous image and upcoming projects.
