Bobby Deol received immense praise for his phenomenal performance in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s latest movie Animal. Headlined by Ranbir Kapoor, Animal created history at the box office by becoming the biggest opener for a non-holiday release for a Hindi film. Animal had grossed Rs 116 crore at the worldwide box office on its opening day. Though there was so much hype around Bobby’s villainous character in Animal.
During a press conference of an awards show recently, Bobby opened up on playing a negative character. “There’s nothing like negative or positive characters. Earlier there used to be a certain category like comedians, villains, and heroes… It’s not like that anymore. Cinema has changed, storytelling has changed, because the world is evolving, and there are so many interesting characters out there,” he said as per Indianexpress.com, adding, “For me, playing a negative role was a challenge but every human being has a bad thing in them, only when you suppress the bad, we become a better person. So, it gives you the opportunity to let that bad out, and perform and enjoy those negative characters. If you look at my character of Abrar from Animal, he had a very strong reason why he was like that. When I played Abrar, I didn’t think of myself as villain, I felt as the hero of my family.”
Earlier, in a conversation with PTI, he had said it’s not about how long the role is, but the substance of the character that is important to him. “I wish I had more scenes but when I signed the film, I knew this is what I had. At that point in my life, I was grateful to god that I was given this chance to play this role by Sandeep. I knew I had only 15 days of work and wouldn’t be there throughout the film. I was sure people would notice me, but I never realised that there will be so much love, appreciation and affection. It’s like wow! It’s amazing,” Bobby had told the news agency.
