On being asked, if his first director was nervous to work with him, considering the stardom of Sunny and Dharmendra, the actor replied, “Maybe that’s why Shekhar Kapur ran away, he was scared. Raj (Rajkumar Santoshi) directed me later. But I never thought that I was under pressure. Papa means everything to me. He is a legend. Bhaiya is a superstar.”

While speaking about the struggles Sunny, Bobby said, “I am happy about the fact that my brother waited for 22 years after Gadar. And in the same year, first, it was my father's film [Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani], and the role he played, I don't think anyone else could have done it that way. Then my film became a big hit! I see the happiness in my father's eyes today… I remember I returned after a week and papa was busy on Instagram, and he said: ‘Bob, people are crazy for you!’ I said, ‘I am your son! Do they have a chance?’"

Earlier, when the actor appeared on Koffee with Karan, he revealed that he started drinking when he had no work. He started, “I gave up, I started self-pitying myself. I just took on drinking a lot, I was sitting at home. I used to keep cursing and saying, why don't people take me? I am good, why don't they want to work with me? I think I became so negative about everything, that there was no positiveness coming from me. I used to sit at home, my wife works.”

Bobby Deol’s last film Animal which starred Ranbir Kapoor did a business of Rs 900 crore at box office. Though Bobby had no dialogue in the film, still he managed to take all the limelight in the movie.
