10 years of 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara': Hrithik, Farhan, Abhay and Katrina reunite for a table read

<p>Sushant Singh Rajput's unfortunate death has not only brought back the insider vs outsider debate in Bollywood but also other unfair practices of the film industry.<br />
<br />
Actor Abhay Deol took to Instagram on Friday to call out Bollywood award shows.<br />
<br />
Explaining how 'shamelessly' the award function works, the actor gave an example of his own film 'Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara' which was directed by Zoya Akhtar and featured Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar along with Deol.<br />
<br />
The actor spoke about how he along with co-actor Farhan Akhtar got "demoted" at several award functions for their work in the hit film 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'.</p>

<p>"`Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara`, released in 2011. Need to chant this title to myself everyday nowadays! Also a great watch when anxious or stressed.</p>

<p>"I would like to mention that almost all the award functions demoted me and Farhan from main leads, and nominated us as `supporting actors`. Hrithik and Katrina were nominated as `actors in a leading role`. So by the industry`s own logic, this was a film about a man and a woman falling in love, with the man supported by his friends for whatever decisions he takes," Deol wrote.</p>

Sushant Singh Rajput's unfortunate death has not only brought back the insider vs outsider debate in Bollywood but also other unfair practices of the film industry.

Sushant Singh Rajput's unfortunate death has not only brought back the insider vs outsider debate in Bollywood but also other unfair practices of the film industry. Actor Abhay Deol took to Instagram on Friday to call out Bollywood award shows. Explaining how 'shamelessly' the award function works, the actor gave an example of his own film 'Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara' which was directed by Zoya Akhtar and featured Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar along with Deol. The actor spoke about how he along with co-actor Farhan Akhtar got "demoted" at several award functions for their work in the hit film 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'. "`Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara`, released in 2011. Need to chant this title to myself everyday nowadays! Also a great watch when anxious or stressed.

<br />
Farhan shared the poster of the film on his Instagram to send love to the people who made this film possible.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Taking a trip down the memory lane, the actor reminisced the fictional character 'Bagwati'&nbsp;and wrote, "8 years since Bagwati moved on .. but I guess the life has to the move ons the somehow... Love to all amigos and amigos .. you who made the film possible and you who made the film a success in more ways than just box office can quantify. Lots of love and a big hug."</p>

<p>The film, which had an ensemble cast including -- Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan, Katrina Kaif, Kalki Koechlin instantly hit the box office and is still being remembered for its pace, adventure and liveliness.<br />
<br />
The story of the film revolves around the life of three childhood friends -- Arjun (Hrithik), Kabir (Abhay) and Imraan (Farhan) -- who revives their good old days by planning an adventurous trip before the marriage of Kabir.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Director Zoya Akhtar too posted a still from the film&nbsp;on her Instagram story with the caption, "8 years and still trippin"<br />
<br />
<img alt="ZA" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="96b51402-6d98-4673-81da-d208eb1bc67a" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202019-07-16T100931.245.jpg" /><br />
Apart from Farhan and Zoya, Abhay also penned a heartfelt note on the occasion. "It's been 8 years since I made this film. It's the one movie that had people come up to me and say, "I saw this and I quit my job" or, "I saw this and made peace with an old friend," to "I took a break from work" and even, "I got a divorce!" It inspired people to follow their dreams, to take action, to accept who and where they are. I couldn`t ask for more! It was an honour and a privilege to work with you Zoya Akhtar," he wrote alongside a still from the film.</p>

Cast of 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' gets nostalgic as film clocks 8 years

<p>Abhay Deol was determined to create his own identity when he made his debut over a decade ago but coming from a film family, the actor says he was conflicted about fame. Abhay says people initially expected him to follow in the footsteps of his uncle Dharmendra and cousin Sunny Deol but he chose alternative cinema over commercial projects to assert his individuality.<br />
<br />
"I feel my advantage of coming from a film family is -- having seen fame up close, having seen the industry so close and how it works, I was not enamoured by fame.I wasn't looking to be a star, I just happened to love acting, I was a reluctant actor. So I was like how do I manage this without taking in the frenzy of becoming a star," Abhay told&nbsp;in an interview.<br />
<br />
Abhay, who made his debut with Imtiaz Ali's 'Socha Na Tha', says he remained doubtful about fame even when it came knocking at his door.</p>

<p>The 42-year-old actor says he "ran away" when 'Dev D', directed by Anurag Kashyap, became a cult hit as he felt its success would affect him "most likely in a negative way".<br />
<br />
"Somewhere it is negative because I should have been around to promote my film and myself. I didn't do that. But do I regret it? No. Because it kept me grounded. Maybe I didn't take the advantage and become a star and get all the brands so that I could solidify my space in the world," he says.<br />
<br />
The actor played a messed up man who gets a second chance at both love and life in the film, a modern take on 'Devdas'. Looking back, Abhay believes he should have approached the film's success in a more balanced way.</p>

<p>"The reaction to 'Dev D' success wasn't a balanced one from my end. I ran away! I should have stayed around and seen how I could balance things. But I wasn't capable of that. That's my background," he says. Though he was able to create a space for his brand of cinema, Abhay believes the industry was unwilling to put money on him.<br />
<br />
"For the first film, putting the name (Deol) behind me is understandable but as time progressed, people started to accept (me), in fact, they liked that I was my own individual.</p>

<p>"But the industry could not put money behind it (my individuality) because they can put money behind a brand, which is what my family name is, but they couldn't do with the individual that I was. It didn't make any monetary sense to them," he says. Even though he comes from a film background, Abhay says he is "not a protege" that filmmakers would keep taking chances on him.<br />
<br />
He went on to star in critically-acclaimed films such as 'Manorama Six Feet Under', 'Oye Lucky Lucky Oye' and 'Shanghai' and further cemented his career by venturing out in commercial movies such as 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' and 'Happy Bhaag Jayegi'.</p>

<p>His next 'Nanu Ki Jaanu', a horror comedy directed by Faraz Haider, co-starring Patralekhaa, is scheduled to release on April 20.&nbsp;</p>
