Bobby Deol said, "I saw my character as a child who was traumatised"
Actor Bobby Deol, who played the antagonist in the recently released Animal, on Thursday said he didn't look at his character as a villain but as someone with childhood trauma. The 54-year-old actor is receiving praise for his brief appearance as Abrar Haque, the menacing mute gangster in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film, fronted by Ranbir Kapoor. Deol, who returned to the big screen with Animal after four years, described Abrar as a "family man".
"I didn't think of my character as a villain. I saw my character as a child who was traumatised when he saw his grandfather committing suicide, so he loses his voice. He swears to avenge his grandfather's death.
"He is very family oriented. He is also romantic, he has three wives. He can kill and also get killed for his family," the actor said during a session on the second day of Agenda AajTak 2023 here.
