Sandeep Reddy Vanga directed movie Animal which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, etc. in important roles has been performing very well at the box-office as it has crossed the Rs. 250 crore mark and it seems to be unstoppable at the moment.
Though Bobby Deol has played a negative character and his screen time is just 15 minutes in the movie, he is getting a lot of praise for his small role. In an interview, he stated that his family has loved the movie and his role but his mother Prakash Kaur was not able to handle his death scene.
Bobby Deol stated, “My mom couldn’t handle my death scene. She was like, ‘Aisi film mat kiya kar tu, mujhse nahi dekha jaata’ (You shouldn’t do films like this, I can’t watch them). I told her, ‘Look, I’m standing in front of you, I just played a part’. But she’s very happy… The amount of phone calls she’s getting, all her friends want to meet me. Something similar happened when Aashram released.”
He said this in another interview, “My dad and my brother haven’t seen it, but everybody else has. They’re feeling exactly like the audience is reacting to me. They’re naturally biased, but they’ve always believed in me as an actor and they were waiting for the right film to come my way. My kids and my wife, I can only see happiness in their eyes. This is the first time I’ve noticed how I affect them as a father. With them, if I was happy I’d be happy, if I was sad I’d be sad, if I was angry I’d be angry… They think I’ve always deserved it, and they’ve seen my failures, and now they’re seeing my success.”
