Shreyas Talpade recalls Bobby Deol being 'very low' during the first meeting for Poster Boys
During a recent conversation with Siddharth Kannan, the Welcome To The Jungle actor mentioned how Bobby Deol was struggling and was without work for four years. He went on to recall his first meeting with the Animal actor while he wasn’t feeling great, and they ended up talking because of his low spirits.
He said, “Yes, that was a time when Bobby, especially, was at an all-time low. He hadn’t worked for four years. And I remember when I first went to meet him for a narration, we just chit-chatted, because he wasn’t in that frame of mind… He was very low. ‘Maine kaam nahi kiya, mujhe confidence nahi hai, kya karun (I haven’t worked in a while, I don’t have the confidence, I don’t know what to do),’ he said. So, we didn’t do the narration. Next day, I went again, and got through the first half. And then I returned the day after that and finished the second half.”
He further recounted a visible transformation in Bobby after he was called for a reading session. Shreyas shared that he had promised him that it would be just the two of them and the actor showed up exactly on time, and to Shreyas’ surprise, had shaved off his tousled beard. “I said, ‘Now I see my Bobby Deol!’” remembered Shreyas.
Heaping praise on both the Deol brothers, he highlighted their dedication to the filming. The Om Shanti Om actor dismissed stories citing Sunny Deol's ‘schedules would go on forever’ and remarked ‘It was nothing like that’
“We finished the film in 30 days. His work was for 26 days. We had a 7 am shift, he’d show up at 6:30, get ready in five minutes, and we’d be shooting on time,” he said.
Helmed by Shreyas Talpade, Poster Boys was released in 2017 and starred him, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Triptii Dimri among others in key roles.
