Bobby Deol on Choosing a Challenging Role
In a past interview with Humans of Bombay, Bobby shared his thoughts on taking up the role of Abraar. “I wanted to try something outside of my comfort zone,” he said. “When Sandeep told me my character would be mute, I thought, ‘But my voice is my strength.’ Still, I went for it.”
He revealed that he waited 1.5 years to shoot his portions and even learned sign language for the role. “I had doubts, but Sandeep is a sweetheart. I never expected it to become a cult hit, but I had a gut feeling.”
