Love how he's juggling between projects like a true professional. Both YRF and 'Bandar' are big deals. Also, that denim-on-denim look is pure swag! 😍

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. The trailer looked promising but 'dark love story' seems like a gamble. Hope it doesn't turn into another preachy movie about 'society's problems'. Bobby's acting is top-notch though, so let's see.

So happy for his resurgence! 'Animal' was massive, 'Aashram' was brilliant, and now 'Bandar' could be his biggest solo hit. The man has worked hard and it's paying off. Respect. 🙌

Bobby Deol flying back just for 'Bandar' commitments shows how serious he is about this film. And Anurag Kashyap directing? That's a deadly combo. Bollywood needs more such raw, real stories. Good luck Bobby! 🍀

The paparazzi complimenting him on 'Come On Baby' - that's so wholesome! He seems like such a grounded guy despite being a star. Also, first solo theatrical in 17 years? That's a big moment for him. Fingers crossed for the film! 🤞
