Dharmendra Made Young Actors Run For Their Money With Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani
On the other hand, the senior most deol Dharmendra made jaws drop with his special role in Karan Johar¡¯s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. His pure and beautiful on screen love story with Shabana Azmi gave a tough fight to the leads Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. So much so that more than the film, the little kiss between him and Azmi became the highlight of the film. In fact, in an episode of Karan¡¯s Koffee With Karan, Bobby and Sunny were asked to comment on the kiss.?
Bobby said, "I loved the film. Everyone was so good, Ranveer Singh. He did an awesome job. I'm a big fan of Alia Bhatt. She was also amazing. And then you (to KJo) chose dad and I'm not saying because he is my father but he was magical as that character. We joke about it that papa kissed on screen and all that. Everyone said that he was so cute."
Sunny said, "I said my dad can do whatever he likes and he gets away with it."
Bobby Deol¡¯s Little Role With No Dialogues In Animal Is The Talk Of The Town
Sandeep Vanga Reddy¡¯s recently released film Animal is setting new records at the box office. While Ranbir Kapoor played the lead in the film exceptionally, it is Bobby Deol who has been showered with love and praise all around. He plays an antagonist in the film, who is mute. His expressions have more than made up for lack of dialogues. The entry song of Bobby ¡®Jamal Kudu¡¯ is a hit with the fans.
The film has already crossed Rs 500 crores and is still unstoppable.?
Last But Not The Least, Abhay Deol Started The Year With A Bang With Web Eeries Trial By Fire, Based On Uphaar Cinema Fire Tragedy
For the unversed, a fire broke inside Uphaar cinema hall in the year 1997 because of which 59 people died of asphyxiation and 103 were critically injured due to the stampede that followed.
Abhay Deol and Rajshri Deshpande played parents who lost both their kids to the tragic fire in the show. Abhay portrayed the role of a defeated father who is fighting with his helplessness and grief. While it centers on the mother who runs from pillar to post to find out the truth. Deol did a fabulous job of providing unspeakable support. This is one of Abhay¡¯s most nuanced performances which beautifully brings out his underrated acting mettle.
It¡¯s safe to say that good things come to those who wait and who keep trying without worrying for the fruit! Deols are a classic example of the same.?
