Deol is currently garnering accolades for his role as the rakish antagonist in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, that stars
Ranbir
Kapoor in the main lead. The actor’s bare chested look has been lapped up the audience and many fans are wondering what could be his exact role in the movie. In a recent interview, the actor said that though he is ecstatic to be receiving such accolades, he himself was surprised when he first saw the still of his look.
In a chat at
Jagran Film Festival
, the actor said that when he did that (opening door) shot, he didn’t even see the monitor, adding that they were in a hurry to finish that moment. He then carried on and said that he saw the shot for the first time when he saw the teaser and he was like, ‘What?! This is me?!’
He further said that he is so glad about the response he has got for this one shot and that it just shows that the audience wants to see him in something different.
In the same interview, Bobby reacted to speculations of him playing a cannibal in the movie. Without revealing much, Bobby just said that he looks different and people want to know what he is doing in the shot. However, he cannot really reveal that at the moment. However, he agreed that he’s definitely chewing something in the shot.
Bobby also revealed that he was quite happy to do ‘Animal’ because he’s a big fan of Ranbir Kapoor. He also added that if there are two actors that he’s a fan of, they’re Ranbir and
Alia
and incidentally, they’re both married to each other.
