After Animal, Bobby Deol to play Antagonist in his Next with Saif Ali Khan

Director Priyadarshan has quite a few projects lined up for the next few years, but the most exciting one at the moment is the Hindi thriller that features Saif Ali Khan in the lead role. The actor, who has expressed great enthusiasm for the project, will reportedly play a blind man in the film. Filming is scheduled to commence in July of 2024, with the makers aiming to wrap up by August.

A source close to the film said, “Talks are ongoing, but they're still in the very early stages.” They elaborated, “The script is complete, and the main focus right now is securing the final cast and locking in a production house. We should have a clearer picture about the film's development within the next two weeks, given its current nascent stage.”

What makes this project even more intriguing is the rumour that Bobby Deol is keen to come on board as the apparent antagonist. According to a source, "Bobby was very impressed by the concept, particularly the character's complex journey filled with unexpected turns. While he might initially appear as the antagonist, the character actually serves as a parallel lead to Saif Ali Khan's protagonist." Deol’s previous role of the menacing villain in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal (2023) earned him a great deal of viral popularity. Audiences can expect a thrilling face-off between Deol and Khan in this Priyadarshan film.
