Bobby Deol has confessed that he initially felt disgusted playing his controversial character of Abrar in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s new blockbuster, Animal. In the actors roundtable on Film Companion, Bobby admitted that he used to feel ‘disgusted’ playing the part on the first few days of the shoot.

Yes, I used to feel disgusted with myself when I started shooting for it. But then I realised I’m playing a character. Why am I feeling so disgusted, so icky? Fir maine unhi logon ke sath jinke sath scene mein jo bhi kiya hai, fir unke sath hum shaam ko sath mein baith ke khana kha rahe hain (Then whoever I did what I did to in those scenes, I was sitting and having dinner with them later). Everything is normal,” said Bobby.

Other actors on the roundtable justified Bobby’s statement too. Vikrant Massey, who shared the screen space with him in Shanker Raman’s romantic thriller Love Hostel last year, said, “He was very scary (in the film). He was killing 20 people in the day aur raat ko hum dinner kar rahe hain sath mein baith ke (and then we had dinner together) and we’re talking about farming. I was like, ‘Oh my god!’”
