The year 2023 has brought a lot of luck to the Deol family. Dharmendra captivated audiences with his charm in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Sunny Deol revived his career with the success of Gadar 2, and now, Bobby Deol breathed new life into his career with a remarkable performance as Abrar Haque in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal.
Despite an extended appearance in the film that barely lasts 20 minutes out of the run-time of 3 hours and 22 minutes, Bobby managed to register a solid impression amongst fans.
From the many fan favourite scenes that are being dissected and discussed on the Internet is Abrar's introduction. This is a scene which carries multiple emotions as Abrar enters the frame in a celebratory mood, as he is all excited about getting married for the third time. Then a messenger interrupts his dance to inform him about his brother's murder. In a fit of rage, Bobby channelises his angst by brutally murdering the messenger, before breaking down and mourning the loss of his brother.
In an interview to a leading portal, Bobby admitted that while performing the scene, he thought about his real brother Sunny. He shared, “When I was doing the scene in the film, it was about a brother who has lost his brother. As actors, we use incidents in our lives to bring that emotion. We have a bank full of them. My brother means the world to me. When I was performing that scene, it was as if I’ve actually lost my brother. And that’s why, when I was emoting, it felt real.” He further added, “That’s why everybody felt that moment. We didn’t do more than one take. In fact, Sandeep came up to me after that shot, and he was like, ‘Sir, this is an award-winning shot’. I was like, ‘Wow, thank you so much Sandeep, coming from you, it means a lot’.”
While watching his brother's performance in the film, an elated Sunny shared, "My little brother has shaken the world. All guns firing success to #Animal."
Animal also stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna in pivotal roles.
