Bobby Deol, who is making a comeback with Animal, ignored criticism of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s films and explained his perspective.
Controversial Director vs. Bobby’s Stand
Animal roared at the box office in 2023, but director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has often been criticized for “violence and patriarchy.”
People have labeled his films, from Kabir Singh and Arjun Reddy to Animal, as misogynistic.
Bobby Deol has made it clear that he doesn’t want to jump into this debate.
Art and Artists Separate
“I like their work, but I don’t buy into the rest of the debate,” Bobby said in a conversation with Raj Shamani.
He believes that an artist’s art is more important than their personality.
Therefore, when choosing a film, he focuses solely on the story and characters.
Exploring Characters
Bobby explains, “I think about how strong my character is and how much I’ll enjoy it. If there’s no substance, there’s no interest.”
He believes that every person has both good and bad sides, but films often only portray the ‘hero.’
Animal: The Big Opportunity
When Sandeep offered Bobby the role of Animal, he couldn’t believe it. “When the message came, I couldn’t believe it,” he recalled.
For him, this role wasn’t just a role, but a major turning point in his career.
Characters with Gray Shades
Bobby appreciated that Vanga showcases the gray shades of each character. He presents reality in a commercial package, which connects with the audience.
“There’s a dark side to every good, but this director brings it to life in a way that’s truly palpable,” Bobby said.
Celebrating a Comeback
Animal marked a strong comeback for Bobby’s acting family. Even though his screen time was limited, the impact was tremendous.
The film grossed big, and fans got a chance to relive Bobby’s energy.
Looking Ahead: Animal Park
With the announcement of Animal Park, anticipation for a new season has risen.
India Today reports that the next installment will be even darker and grittier than the previous one.
Bobby hasn’t given any hints yet, but excitement for the sequel is running high.
Following Karisma Kapoor’s lead, Bobby Deol has proven that he always relies on the power of shades of gray in his films. Now, let’s see how much deeper this world becomes in Animal Park.
