Bobby Deol: Want to play roles that are out of my comfort zone

Bollywood actor Bobby Deol says he doesn't distinguish his characters as negative or positive and wants to explore roles that challenge him.

The actor said playing the antagonist in "Animal" was challenging. 

The Sandeep Reddy Vanga-directed film, which featured Ranbir Kapoor in the lead, received polarized reviews but was a blockbuster hit and Deol was praised for his performance and the song 'Jamal Jamalkudu'.

For me, playing a negative role was a challenge but every human being has a bad thing in them, only when you suppress the bad, we become a better person. So, it gives you the opportunity to let that bad out, and perform and enjoy those negative characters.

Deol, who has been nominated in the best villain category for his performance in Animal, at Zee Cine Awards 2024, said awards are a form of appreciation for one's hard work.

The actor will also perform at the award show.

Actors Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Ananya Panday, Bobby Deol, Ayushmann Khurrana, Mouni Roy, Utkarsh Sharma, and Simrat Kaur among others are also among the performers at Zee Cine Awards 2024.

The awards ceremony will be hosted by Ayushmann Khurrana and Aparshakti Khurana, and Sunil Grover, who will take over for a few fun segments.
