Sunny Deol has opened up on Bobby Deol playing villainous roles. Speaking at the CNN-News18 Rising Bharat Summit 2025 on Tuesday, Sunny said that Bobby had asked him not to watch the Aashram series, where he plays as a self-proclaimed godman, Kashipur Waale Baba Nirala / Monty Singh.
He said, “Jab woh Aashram kar rahe the, unhone kaha, ‘Bhaiya, please, aap log dekhna mat’." Opening up on Bobby Deol playing the menacing Abrar in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sunny said, “We are actors. Villain ka role ho, hero ka role ho ya jo bhi ho – we are supposed to do that. Aur tabhi humein maza aata hai jab humein alag alag characters diye jaate hai. Aur aksar log dete nahi hai dusre characters kyunki aapka image kuch aisa ban jaata hai ke waha se koi kahaani nahi milti ke aap apna image tod ke dusri taraf chale jao. Bobby ko yeh mauka mila aur unhone bahut achha kiya. Animak Dekhi thi. Being a family, jab usko maar rahe the, gussa bahut aya tha (We, as actors, enjoy it the most when we are given different kinds of characters. Often, people don’t offer different roles because your image becomes such that no story comes along where you can break your image and take on something else. Bobby got that opportunity and he did very well. I had seen Animak. Being a family, when they were beating him him, I got really angry).
