Bobby Deol admits feeling disgusted with his character Abrar in Animal
In a recent roundtable interview with Film Companion, the actor said he felt disgusted with himself when he began shooting. However, he realised he was playing a character. "Why am I feeling so disgusted, so icky? Fir maine unhi logon ke sath jinke sath scene mein jo bhi kiya hai, fir unke sath hum shaam ko sath mein baith ke khana kha rahe hain. Everything is normal," he said.
Bobby Deol, who was away from the silver screen, revived his career with Animal. From his viral Jamal Kudu entry to Lord Bobby plaudits, social media is swamped with reel videos around the actor. Written and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Animal released on December 1 and stars Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Triptii Dimri in key roles.
Besides Bobby Deol, Triptii Dimri, who played Zoya in the film, is winning hearts with her acting prowess and has been tagged as the National Crush.
Although the film is shattering records at the box office, it has also triggered a massive debate around misogyny in Hindi films. According to Sacnilk.com, Animal crossed the Rs 500 crore mark domestically. The film minted Rs 15 crore on Day 17 and the total collection stands at Rs 512.94 crore in India.
