New Delhi: 'Animal' is by all standards the most controversial film of 2023. Among many controversies in the film, one of them has grabbed a lot of attention. In one segment of the film, Bobby Deol is involved in a marital rape scene. In the film, Bobby Deol played the role of a mute man named Abrar, who right after his wedding with his third wife, forces himself on his wife.
Recently, speaking about the same scene, Bobby Deol said that he had no inhibitions while filming the scene. He also added that Sandeep Reddy Vanga made him feel quite safe.
Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Bobby Deol said, "From the time I heard my character, I knew there was so much I could do with it without even speaking a word. In fact, without speaking a word gave me some kind of energy that brought something out in me."
"When I was performing, I had no inhibitions whatsoever,” he added.
Shedding light on his gray character, Bobby Deol explained, "I was just portraying this character who is savage, who is an evil man and this is how he treats his women, this is how he is. And that’s how I portrayed it. He’s a romantic actually with his three wives.”
Only a week earlier, Mansi Taxak, who played Bobby Deol's third wife in the film, spoke about the controversial scene. Speaking with Zoom Entertainment, Mansi said, "It is shocking, of course. Nobody expects their wedding to end that way. When the wedding sequence starts, if you see the lights, the way the art was done, it was beautiful. You hear the music, that has gone so viral on Instagram. It was heading towards a beautiful end, and suddenly, you see something like this happening. It was to tell the audience that an animal is coming; if you thought Ranbir was this way, you can expect the villain to be (worse). It was an apt way to establish Bobby sir’s character and to show the audience what real animal we’re talking about. I would not wish that to happen at my wedding ever!”
