Bobby Deol on meeting Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga
During the interview, Bobby Deol recollected when Sandeep Reddy Vanga approached him for Animal. He shared that they met during the COVID period, and Sandeep expressed his desire for Bobby to be a part of the film. Sandeep told him, 'I want you to do this film because I saw a photograph of yours, and I love the expression in it.'
Bobby revealed that Sandeep showed him the photograph, taken during his celebrity cricket days, where he was standing and gazing into the distance. Sandeep conveyed, 'Mujhe yeh chahie yeh expression aisa character hai mera' (I want this; this expression suits my character). Bobby humorously responded, "Bekaari ke din kaam aa gaye" (Idle days have come in handy).
Bobby Deol on playing mute character in Animal
Bobby then elaborated on how Sandeep explained the essence of the movie without divulging the entire plot, revealing that he would be portraying a mute character. He stated, "So I was really excited because I have been trying to do work which is out of my comfort zone because it brings the best out of me. I did Class of '83, I did Aashram, I did Love Hostel."
Acknowledging the challenge and expressing gratitude for the positive response, Bobby shared, "I was like, 'Okay, now I have to be mute, how do I perform?' I know my voice is powerful and I know I can use my voice, but now I don't have my voice. But it was so much fun, it was so challenging. The kind of love I am getting, it makes you feel so nice because you work hard and you've kind of done it right, and people are appreciating it."
