'Animal': Bobby Deol Draws From Personal Experience, Imagines Losing Brother Sunny Deol For An Emotional Scene

The crime drama film 'Animal,' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, delves into a violent world framed around the shaky relationship between Ranbir Kapoor's Ranvijay Singh and his father Balbir Singh (portrayed by Anil Kapoor). Bobby Deol, who played the antagonist Abrar Haque in the film, has garnered significant acclaim and immense praise. 

In a recent interview, the 'Aashram' actor revealed that he had actually imagined losing his real-life brother Sunny Deol to shoot an emotional scene in the recently released 'Animal.' For all those who have watched the film, it is the scene in which his character is informed that Ranvijay has killed his brother Asrar Haque (played by Babloo Prithiveeraj).

Talking about that scene, Bobby told iDreamMedia, "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."

"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’", the actor further added.

On the box office front, 'Animal' has been doing wonders. The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer has garnered more than Rs 750 crore worldwide, which makes it the third highest-grossing Indian film of 2023.
