Bobby Deol, during the actors’ roundtable on Film Companion, revealed that he felt disgusted to play the role because of such traits.

“Yes, I used to feel disgusted with myself when I started shooting for it,” he said. “But then I realised I’m playing a character. Why am I feeling so disgusted, so icky?

“Fir maine unhi logon ke sath jinke sath scene mein jo bhi kiya hai, fir unke sath hum shaam ko sath mein baith ke khana kha rahe hain (Then whoever I did what I did to in those scenes, I was sitting and having dinner with them later). Everything is normal,” he said.

It is pertinent to mention that ‘Animal‘ has been criticized for its over-the-top violence and toxic masculinity.
