Bobby Deol Discusses Typecasting and Efforts to Diversify RolesPreviousNext

Actor Bobby Deol acknowledged being frequently cast in villainous roles following his success in projects like 'Aashram' and 'Animal.' Speaking at the Jagran Film Festival, he noted that industry typecasting is common when actors succeed in specific roles. Deol said he strives to diversify his characters, citing his recent film 'Bandar,' where he played an aging star accused of rape, and upcoming projects including the Prime Video series 'Teen Kauwe.' He also expressed discomfort with slapstick comedy genres.
