Actor Bobby Deol says he was fortunate to land a part in director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming 'Animal,' as it gave him an opportunity to act alongside Ranbir Kapoor. Bobby's appearance at the end of the movie teaser garnered much attention. Towards the end of the clip, he features in a chilling, no-dialogue scene, leaving the internet impressed.
He added, "I was really lucky that I got to be a part of Animal, I have loved Sandeep's work. He is the only director who has made the same film twice and succeeded both the times. I want to do different characters and as I have said before, I want to break my image, get challenged and be very uncomfortable as an actor."
"I am a big fan of Ranbir Kapoor. If there are two actors I am a big fan of, they are Ranbir and Alia and they are married to each other! So I was really excited to learn that Ranbir would be playing the main lead, and I knew it would be amazing working with him as I have always loved his work. It is an emotional, violent drama with love, romance and hate. Sandeep brings out different elements in characterisations which are so different from other filmmakers," he said.
Opening up about his much-talked-about sequence in the teaser, Bobbys said even he was shocked to see how menacing he looked in that shot. The actor recalled that he hadn't even seen the monitor when they had filmed that particular scene due to a time crunch.
"When I did that shot, I didn't even see the monitor. We were in a hurry to finish that moment. I saw the shot for the first time when I saw the teaser and I was like, 'What?! This is me?!' I am so glad about the response I have got for this one shot. It just shows that the audience wants to see me in something different. They want to know what I am doing in that shot– I can't tell you that, but I am definitely eating something."
