Bobby Deol on working with Alia Bhatt in 'Alpha', Ranbir Kapoor in 'Animal': Best time working with them
Mumbai, May 27
Actor Bobby Deol, who is now pepped up for the release of his "Alpha", has spoken about working with Alia Bhatt in the upcoming film and her husband in the 2023 blockbuster "Animal".
Bobby said: "I'm very fond of Ranbir and Alia, and I always wanted to work with both of them. With Ranbir, I did Animal, and now with Alia, I have now done Alpha. I had the best time working with both of them."
Bobby finds it amazing that a film, which also stars Sharvari, featuring two girls doing action has been made in India.
"It is quite amazing that we are making an action film in India, like Alpha, featuring two girls doing action on screen. I like Alpha a lot because it is new, it is refreshing, and a new visual for the audience to watch in theatres."
Bobby was too impressed watching Alia prepare herself to play a girl who could look convincing while doing brutal action sequences.
"Alia is one of the most hardworking and most sincere actors I've worked with. She comes to the set completely prepared, deeply invested in every scene. She has never done this kind of action before, and I was amazed seeing how prepared she was for the shoot."
"I could see she was giving her all because action is hard to pull off, and she went for it," says Bobby.
He added, "Adi and the director Shiv Rawail had a clear vision that action should look real and raw. So, it was a tough shoot for both of us, and I'm glad we have a film that everyone should sit back, relax, and hopefully enjoy thoroughly."
Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail also stars Anil Kapoor in a pivotal role. Alpha is set to release in theatres in July 10.

I have mixed feelings. Bobby praising Alia is sweet, but why does every action film need to be 'raw and real'? Sometimes I just want masala entertainment without all the gore. Animal was too violent for my taste. Hope Alpha balances action with a good story. 🤔
Bobby Deol is genuinely one of the nicest guys in the industry. His humility despite being a star kid is refreshing. And Alia Bhatt? She's the queen of dedication. If she's putting that much effort into action, you know the result will be spectacular. Mark my words, Alpha will be a game-changer for female-led action in India! 🚀
I appreciate Bobby's words, but I'm skeptical. Bollywood has a history of making 'action films' with heroines that end up as male-dominated masala fests. Remember Visfot? I hope Alpha genuinely gives Alia and Sharvari equal screen time and doesn't just use them as props. The casting of Anil Kapoor makes me nervous – hope he's not the typical 'hero saving the day' character.
As someone who watches Hollywood action films regularly, I'm curious to see how Alpha compares. The concept of two women leading a brutal action film is still rare even in the West. If Bobby is impressed with Alia's preparation, it gives me hope. But please, no over-the-top slow-motion or illogical physics. Keep it grounded like John Wick or Atomic Blonde. Let's see! 🍿
