Animal might have drawn polarising responses from many, but if there s one aspect from the Sandeep Reddy Vanga film that has united audiences, it is the entry song of Bobby Deol s character Abrar. In Animal, Bobby Deol s character enters dancing to the song Jamal Kudu, while balancing a glass on his head. His entry song has since become a rage on the internet. Now, the actor has opened up about the viral scene from the film in an interview with Bollywood Spy, and talked about how he came up with the step himself, and went on to praise the director for great taste in music. Bobby Deol on his entry scene in Animal Speaking to Bollywood Spy about his entry scene in Animal, Bobby Deol said: He Sandeep Reddy Vanga had made me listen to the music beforehand.

Bobby Deol on the viral dance step The actor further added what happened during the choreography of the scene.
When we started shooting, the choreographer said, You do it. I was like, What will I do I started dancing and he told me, No, No. Don t do it like Bobby Deol. Then Saurabh, who plays my brother, I told him, Can you do and show How would you do it Then I suddenly remembered the time when I was small and we used to go to Punjab. I remembered how we used to get drunk and keep glasses on our head. I never understood why we did it. It suddenly came in my mind and I did that. Sandeep liked it. His voice gets emotional even as he talks to us. Bobby Deol is witnessing something not many actors get to see in their lives. For someone who started off as a big star, then witnessed a slump, only to rise again like this, it s only natural that he is speechless. Animal, his latest release, has left fans asking for more. I cannot understand how to process this.
As an actor, you are always waiting for that moment when you get recognition, it is like a dream. God has been kind. Hard work turns into luck. I always had self belief, I knew I had so much to give. Thanks to my director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for changing my life, he gushes. A video of him breaking down after exiting a theatre in Mumbai went viral. The 54 year old says, Imagine you waited for an opportunity in your life to happen, it s been long. And you have been working hard too. Anybody in my place would break down. The passion I have for my work, the love I have for my industry... I didn t know how to control my emotions. His character as Abrar is there on screen for only 15 minutes in total, but right from his entry, to the climax, he has garnered massive love. I was sitting in my house one day, and got a message from Sandeep. I wasn t sure it was him, so I asked my manager to check. When I called him, he wanted to meet, and then showed me a picture of me from my cricket league days, when I wasn t working at all.
I couldn t believe that an out of job picture got me work. He is a genius. I knew I only had to shoot for 15 days, and I was mute on top of that , he adds.
