In addition, she also starred in Jackie Chan's Kung Fu Yoga, along with Sonu Sood.[15]

Patani then acted in Baaghi 2 along with Tiger Shroff, a sequel to the 2016 film Baaghi starring Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor and the second instalment of the Baaghi franchise. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Ahmed Khan, Baaghi 2 was released on 30 March 2018 to mixed reviews from critics with praise for its action sequences.

In her first release of 2024, Patani played a terrorist disguised as an air hostess in the Sidharth Malhotra starrer Yodha, which was too a delayed release.[30][31] Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint termed Patani a "potential action star", while praising her fight sequence, but added that her dialogues fail to make an impact.[32] Still, the film underperformed commercially.[33] Patani saw a success with the Telugu film Kalki 2898 AD where she was paired opposite Prabhas.[34] Her character Roxie is a worker in the Complex who takes Bhairava inside for the first time. The film was a large box-office success emerging as the year's highest-grossing Indian film and Patani's first since 2020.[35][36] Following this, she expanded to Tamil films with Kanguva, playing a bounty hunter Angela opposite Suriya.[37] The film opened to mixed reviews with criticism for her "insignificant part".[38]
