Bobby Deol is on cloud nine post the success of Animal that is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. In an interview with The Quint, he spoke about his character in the film and how he and Ranbir Kapoor want to kill each other in the climatic battle. And the surprise revelation was a kissing scene between these men that was edited out. Deol said, “There are these two brothers, they want to kill each other, but there’s a love that they have for each other. I’m going to shoot a climax sequence with a song playing in the background, which is about love’… He said, ‘You’re fighting, and you suddenly kiss him, and then you don’t give up, and he kills you’. But he removed the kiss. There was a kiss. I think it might come on the uncut Netflix version. Then he (Sandeep) said, ‘You are mute’. After saying all this, he said, ‘You’re mute’. I was like okay.” Deol has had a solid comeback to the movies after a four year gap between 2013 and 2017, when he wasn’t getting the kind of roles he wished to do as an actor. In the last three years, he has acted in Class of 83, Aashram, and Love Hostel. And with the raging success of Animal, where he played a monster called Abrar, he nailed the performance even in the three scenes he was in. Also, in an exclusive interview with Firstpost , when asked about the Deols dominating the year 2023, he said, “Sometimes, things don’t happen the way they should but suddenly after 22 years, my brother gave Gadar 2 and then me doing Animal. I always had a gut feeling about the film but I never imagined it to be such a huge success or the craze it generated. Most number of reels have been made on the film, people have gone crazy.”
