People often say that it is easy for star-kids to sustain in the Hindi Film industry, however, Bobby Deol’s struggle to get a new lease in this industry proves that even star-kids have to go through their own set of hardships to get work in the industry. Bobby Deol belongs to the family which produced two of the biggest superstars of Indian Cinema i.e. Dharmendra and Sunny Deol, still he couldn’t sustain for a long period. The reason for his failure is the fact that he couldn’t match up to the changing times in the industry with the rise of multiplex culture. The lack of adaptability to changing environment kept Bobby Deol out of work for around 4 years.
In the span of 4 years, the actor, who was once touted to be the next big thing of Bollywood almost went into depression and resorted to alcohol to overcome the loneliness. Deol wanted to work, but the producers and directors in the industry felt that he is a spent force and therefore no-one really were keen to get him on board. In one of the interviews, Bobby Deol revealed that in the tough period of his life, Salman Khan came like an angel and promised to do a film with him. Khan, who is known for his large heart, not only promised to work with Deol, but also asked him to train with his personal trainer and get in proper shape.
After hitting the gym regularly, one fine day, Deol received a call from Salman Khan saying “Mamu, Shirt Utarega” and these three worlds resulted in the beginning of new innings for Bobby Deol. Khan offered him a pivotal role in Race 3 and the same gave Deol the confidence to approach other film-makers for work. Race 3 was followed up with Housefull 4, which is yet another mega-budget entertainer starring Akshay Kumar in lead. Apart from the two big franchise films, Bobby is also a part of his in-house franchise, Yamla Pagla Deewana.
