Bobby Deol: “I Missed Out On Transition In The Film Industry”

Bobby Deol made his presence felt in Bollywood with films like “Barsaat”, “Soldier”, “Ajnabee” and “Humraaz”, but he has been through a tough time in his career. The actor says corporatisation led to a transition, which he missed out on in the industry.

Bobby is back with Salman Khan-starrer “Race 3“, releasing on Friday.

“The rough patch came from the time the transition started happening within the film industry. When I started, producers and directors used to approach actors with their projects and us actors used to select scripts from the given opportunity.

“In the last few years, as the corporates took over, and new people came in, they used to approach directors and producers to work with them. They made themselves accessible to the filmmakers. I think I missed out on that,” Bobby told IANS here.

“I thought people would come to me to sign, but by then, the trend changed to actors going to makers to get signed. However, I think the best part is I am back and Salman and I are working together,” he added.

In the multi-starrer “Race 3“, directed by Remo D’Souza, Bobby plays a pivotal role. He is excited to be a part of the action genre, one of his favourites.

“I have done so many action films in my career, so shooting for an action scene was not a big deal. But it’s just that I was doing it after a long time. I remember the first day of shooting an action sequence, I was nervous because in action, physical timing has to be right and I wanted to do it correctly.

“Thankfully, the scene went well. I am really excited to be a part of the action thriller space after a long time.”

“Race 3” also features Anil Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Saqib Saleem, Freddy Daruwala and Daisy Shah along with Salman.
