Bobby Deol On His Sequence In ‘Animal’ Teaser: The Audience Wants To See Me In Something Different

Bobby Deol will next be seen in director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s latest ‘Animal’, and the film’s teaser featured him in the end in a no-dialogue scene, which has left everyone impressed and curious at the same time.

Speaking at the Jagran Film Festival, the actor said that he is delighted to be part of ‘Animal’ as it gave him an opportunity to act alongside Ranbir Kapoor and to play a challenging role as well. 

Terming the film an “emotional, violent drama with love, romance and hate”, Bobby said, “I was really lucky that I got to be a part of Animal, I have loved Sandeep’s work. He is the only director who has made the same film twice and succeeded both the times. I want to do different characters and as I have said before, I want to break my image, get challenged and be very uncomfortable as an actor.”

Praising Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby further said, “I am a big fan of Ranbir Kapoor. If there are two actors I am a big fan of, they are Ranbir and Alia and they are married to each other! So I was really excited to learn that Ranbir would be playing the main lead, and I knew it would be amazing working with him as I have always loved his work. It is an emotional, violent drama with love, romance and hate. Sandeep brings out different elements in characteristics which are so different from other filmmakers.”

Opening up about his much talked presence in the teaser, Bobby mentioned how he even was shocked to see how menacing he looked because he hadn’t even seen the monitor due to time crunch.

“When I did that shot, I didn’t even see the monitor. We were in a hurry to finish that moment. I saw the shot for the first time when I saw the teaser and I was like, ‘What?! This is me?!’ I am so glad about the response I have got for this one shot. It just shows that the audience wants to see me in something different. They want to know what I am doing in that shot– I can’t tell you that, but I am definitely eating something.”

‘Animal’ has been co-written, edited and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. It stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna and Tripti Dimri, and is slated to release on December 1, 2023.
