Talking about the scene, the 54-year-old actor said that he had no inhibitions while filming the scene.
In a talk with Bollywood Bubble, Bobby said, ''From the time I heard my character, I knew there was so much I could do with it without even speaking a word. In fact, without speaking a word gave me some kind of energy that brought something out in me. When I was performing, I had no inhibitions whatsoever.''
Speaking about his role as Abrar in the film, he added, ''I was just portraying this character who is savage, who is an evil man and this is how he treats his women, this is how he is. And that’s how I portrayed it. He’s a romantic actually with his three wives.''
Meanwhile, the Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer is doing wonders at the box office globally. The film recently grossed over Rs 700 crore at the worldwide box office.
