Bobby Deol discusses his role in the film “Animal”, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, as a man driven by revenge in an interview with PTI. The crime drama, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and himself, has raked in Rs 236 crore in just two days, despite receiving mixed reviews.
Deol, who portrays the antagonist Abrar Haque, describes his character as being driven by obsession and revenge. The actor delves deep into the complexities of his role, emphasizing that every person harbors both good and evil, and his character was shaped by a traumatic experience. “Animal” also features actors Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, and Shakti Kapoor.
Despite the controversial and polarizing nature of the film, Deol is pleased with the positive reception to his character. The actor feels that there is a potential for a spin-off based on his character, citing the overwhelming love and appreciation for Abrar Haque.
Deol’s dedication to his portrayal of Abrar Haque can be seen in the effort he put into bulking up for the role. The actor expresses his joy at being accepted for his portrayal of negative characters, referencing his previous roles in “Aashram” and “Love Hostel”.
The Deol family is also experiencing success in 2023, with Bobby’s brother Sunny Deol’s film “Gadar 2” and his father Dharmendra’s role in “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani”. The actor is proud of the collective achievements of his family in the entertainment industry.
Deol concludes by remarking that it’s exciting to play diverse and complex characters, especially those with shades of evil, a challenge he has successfully embraced.
