Bobby Deol says he was unable to recognize himself in Animal teaser

Actor Bobby Deol says that he finds himself  to be fortunate  enough to be a part in director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film “Animal”. He felt lucky to act alongside an actor he is a fan of, -Ranbir Kapoor. He was glad to portray a character that challenged him. In the teaser of Animal, which was released last month, Bobby features in the end– in a chilling, no-dialogue scene which left the audience impressed. While speaking at the Jagran Film Festival, Bobby described Animal as an “emotional, violent drama with love, romance and hate”.

“I was really lucky that I got to be a part of Animal, I have loved Sandeep’s work. He is the only director who has made the same film twice and succeeded both the times. I want to do different characters and as I have said before, I want to break my image, get challenged and be very uncomfortable as an actor.

“I am a big fan of Ranbir Kapoor. If there are two actors I am a big fan of, they are Ranbir and Alia and they are married to each other! So I was really excited to learn that Ranbir would be playing the main lead, and I knew it would be amazing working with him as I have always loved his work. It is an emotional, violent drama with love, romance and hate. Sandeep brings out different elements in characterisations which are so different from other filmmakers,” he said.

Bobby Deol opened up about the scene in the teaser where he looks menacing, and said that he was even shocked by his own appearance. He recalled that they were short on time when they filmed the scene, so he didn’t even get a chance to see the monitor.
