INTERVIEW Part 2: Bobby Deol opens up about his line up – From Animal to Penthouse, Apne 2 and Love Hostel
Bobby Deol believes that his Animal co--star, Ranbir Kapoor, is one of the finest actors of the industry and is looking forward to get into Kabir Singh director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's world.
In part one of this interview, Bobby Deol got candid about his version 2.0 and revealed that he worked hard to achieve success and is now all the more nervous. He also opened up about how working with Salman Khan in Race 3 changed the tide for him and resulted in multiple offers from the film industry. And now, in the second part, the actor gives an insight into his line up of projects and suggests that he is booked for at-least a year from now.
The actor will next be seen in Penthouse, which marks a reunion with director duo, Abbas Mustan after 8 long years. The two have previously worked on thrillers like Humraaz, Ajnabee, Soldier and Players. “They are the nicest people I have worked with. I have done maximum films with them and their first web film is also with me. They are amazing at making thrillers and have a very modern approach towards visualising the scenes,” the actor shares, adding further that there was a phase in his career, when he was offered nothing but thrillers. “I got stuck to the image of acting in thrillers, and when some of them didn’t work, things fell through. But am glad, different content is coming my way now. My three shows on the web world showcase a different version of me – Class of 83, Ashram and Penthouse.”

He is reuniting with father, Dharmendra and brother, Sunny on the Anil Sharma directed Apne sequel. While the film was initially slated to go on floors in April, it has now been pushed to second half of year. “We start around July as the work on script is still going on. It should come out next year and it’s going to be exciting to be working with my dad, brother and also first time with Karan (Deol),” he exults, refusing to divulge into any other details.
There’s also the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directed Animal under his kitty which pairs him alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra. “Ranbir is one of the finest actors of our industry and I am really looking forward to working with him. The film goes on floors in second half of the year. Sandeep’s characters are different and he thinks out of the box to bring out such stuff from a character that not many can think off. That’s all I can talk about at the moment,” he smiles. There’s also the Shah Rukh Khan production, Love Hostel with Vikrant Massey and Sanya Malhotra, wherein he plays the negative lead.

“It’s about two lovers on the run with a mercenary after them. Shanker Raman is a new director in the horizon and I have a very different look in the film. It’s written very well, and it all depends on how well I do it,” Bobby signs off.
