Why no one can beat Bobby Deol: His Villain in Animal speaks entire book without opening his mouth
Introduction
It’s not something that one associates with a Bollywood stardom with its distinct approach to building logos as with the Rab Ka Banda cast by the director Sandeep Reddy Vanga instead to make a bold move with “Animal,” Deol in a deaf-mute villain. This out-of-the-blue pick has only resulted in puzzled and thrilled audiences alike. The expectation Vanga build up in the film with quote saying, “I didn’t need any of that same dialoguebaazi” shows his built up, never doesn’t want to remain the part of traditional ‘Bollywood villains’ and deliver the fresh concept to the audience.
Breaking the Mold: The One of a Kind Bobby Deol Villain
The character played by Bobby Deol in “Animal” is not your standard Bollywood villain. There are none of the usual menacing dialogues or melodramatic monologues; instead, Deol’s villain is all about facial expressions, body language and some high-stakes actions. A new vision that is as demanding for the actor as it is for viewers, and offers a more intense, immersive spectator experience.

Conclusion
Hearing impaired and mute villains are less common, but perhaps the most daring casting decision is the pièce de résistance for Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s “Animal”—Bobby Deol. Steering clear of “the same old dialoguebaazi”, Vanga and Deol have thus engineered a character that, he assures me, audiences will learn to love by what he does rather than what he says. This new technology must view the ability to show Deol’s capabilities as an actor in a new light, though it takes it to the next level.
As “Animal” readies itself for release, the film industry will be ablaze with curiosity on the threat this unorthodox antagonist poses to the Hindi filmdom. Could this quiet nemesis herald an age of complex and varied antagonists in Indian cinema? How this development plays out in the future, only time will tell, but one thing is for sure — Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Bobby Deol have already succeeded in creating a buzz and changing perceptions of what is to be considered a ‘true’ memorable Bollywood villain.
