Bobby Deol Says He Went Door-To-Door for Roles During Career Lull

He credits a son's remark with jolting him back to work, setting up a revival through Aashram then Animal.

Overview

  • Speaking on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, he said he visited directors and producers asking, "I am Bobby Deol. Please give me work."
  • He recalled that a simple comment from his son spurred him to seek roles again after long stretches without films.
  • He described the 2000s–2010s as a period of few releases, extended time at home, and feeling he had "given up" once.
  • He credited Prakash Jha’s Aashram with restarting momentum and his antagonist turn in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal (2023) with cementing the comeback.
  • He said party invitations and attention dwindled during the slump but the same people now approach him with offers, as he returns to the mainstream with Aryan Khan’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood.
