Bobby Deol says he is working to move beyond being seen primarily as a villain, following the audience impact of recent films and his roles in projects such as Aashram and Animal. He describes his efforts to “break out of that” image while aiming for a wider range of characters.
Both outlets report that Deol acknowledges the popularity of antagonist roles but argues that not all villain characters are the same. Times of India adds that he sees “different kinds of antagonists” even within antagonist roles, and he points to specific characters as examples of variety. NDTV similarly frames his comments around the desire to explore more diverse parts rather than repeat a single typecast.
Times of India further notes that Deol is scheduled to appear in upcoming web series, highlighting how he plans to broaden his onscreen choices beyond the villain label. NDTV focuses more on his personal efforts to shift audience perception and the kind of roles he wants to pursue next.
