Bobby Deol on saying no to producers
When asked if he had ever said no to a producer, Bobby Deol recalled a story from his father, Dharmendra’s, times. He revealed that all these things happened with his father. There is a big director who has made quite blockbuster films, and the Sholay star was working with him quite often in those days. So he had approached the star for a big film then, which everyone has seen and is also amongst our favorites, claimed Bobby.
So Dharmendra had to say no to the director for some reason, and he did that very politely. But this did not go down well with the director, and he never worked with the actor again. The Ba***ds of Bollywood actor also stated that nothing like this has ever happened with him. He started working with the thought that he would not do many films.
“Maine humesha kam filmein ki hai aur problem ye hoti thi ki kitne producers hai jinhone paise diye nahi. Wo promise karte the, phir release ke pehle dubbing kar lo bolte the lekin dubbing ke baad kabhi diye nahi. Lekin abhi badal gaya. Abhhi pure contracts sign hote hai, pure deals banti hai aur kaafi darawne contracts bante hai jise padh ke aap zyada dar jate ho,” he said. (I have always worked in less number of films, and the problem with me used to be that many producers did not pay despite promising me. But now it’s different. Now, proper contracts are signed, and they are so scary that you yourself will be scared after reading them.
Bobby Deol concluded by saying that other than all this, whichever producer he has worked with in his career, everyone has worked with a lot of love and have given the actor a lot of respect.
