This year belongs to the Deols. Starting from veteran actor Dharmendra who made news with his performance in Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, to Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 box office success and now Bobby Deol's ruthless avatar in Animal.
Deol is currently busy promoting his next film which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandhanna and Anil Kapoor.
During the trailer launch event in Delhi, the actor talked about his father's performance in the Karan Johar movie and reacted to the Gadar 2box office success.
He said in Hindi, “Papa ne jo kaam kiya hai Rocky rani mainvoh role koi aur nahi kar sakta tha. Gadar ne toh gadar macha diya. (Nobody can do the work dad has done in Rocky Aur Rani. Gadar has done a terrific business).
In the comedy rom-com film, Dharmendra's kissing scene with Shabana Azmi became the most-talked-about topic and became instantly viral.
Talking about his role in Animal, Deol said, ''I want to thank Sandeep [Reddy Vanga, the director] first. Especially because of my career situation, I would have never thought that I would ever get a great role like this.''
Recalling how he got the role, he said, ''One day I got a message from Sandeep reading, 'Sandeep Reddy Vanga, I would like to meet you.''
''At first, I was like is this real Sandeep or is this someone else having fun? But, then it was actually him. However, we met and he showed me a photo of mine of the time when I was not doing much work, but I used to play a celebrity cricket league. So, a photo was clicked there where I was standing and looking far away. So he (Sandeep) showed me that photo and said, 'I want you to take you in the movie because of your expression in this photograph and I want this. ' So, I love you Sandeep for giving me this opportunity,'' Deol said.
Sandeep's film has got ‘A’ – adult-only certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification. At the trailer launch, Ranbir described the movie as ''adult-rated Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.'' The action-packed trailer shows Ranbir in a violent avatar.
The film will be released worldwide on December 1, 2023, in five languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. The movie will face a clash with Meghna Gulzar's Sam Bahadur starring Vicky Kaushal.
