Bobby Deol opens up on his switchover to villainous roles; says, "I don’t look at characters as positive or negative"

After Prakash Jha’s web series Ashram where Bobby played a sleazy godman, and Love Hostel where he was a ruthless assassin, he is playing the villain to Ranbir Kapoor in Sandeep Vanga’s Animal. Bobby says it is not conscious career decision to play negative characters but a conscious decision to play interesting characters. “I don’t look at characters as positive or negative. When I watch films there is always one character that stays with you. I want to play that character.” Prakash Jha's Ashram proved a game changer for Bobby. He admits finding challenging roles is tough. “I am trying. I am doing Sandeep Vanga’s Animal with Ranbir Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra. Then I am doing the family film Apne 2 which I am very excited about.” In an earlier interview with this writer Bobby spoke about his long absence from screen before Prakash Jha’s Ashram. “My fans would ask why I wasn’t being seen on the screen. And I couldn’t tell them it was because I wasn’t getting good roles. But my fans stood by me. They gave me the strength to keep looking for the right roles. Thankfully I found the roles I liked. My new films have given me some new fans. I am thankful I am still here. Yeah, I am in a good space right now.” Also Read: Dharmendra celebrates Lohri with son Bobby Deol as well as grandsons Aryaman, Karan, and Rajveer Deol; Sunny Deol reacts
