Abhay proves he’s a Deol too
Abhay Deol will live up to the Deol family name when Chakravyuh releases in October. How you ask? Well, the film will mark Abhay’s first “action role”, and the actor divulges that he underwent extensive physical training for the same. “I had to run, cycle and take fight classes to prepare for the character,” he says.
Of course, the Deols have been down the action path plenty of times before: Abhay’s uncle Dharmendra is known by his “Garam Dharam” moniker, while cousin Sunny is famous for his “dhai kilo ka haath”. Bobby too has had his fair share of action films. But for Abhay, who has previously tended to play sensitive lover, this will be a change indeed. “Yes, this is my first action film,” Abhay laughs. “The Deols can’t stay away from action, so here I am!”
Abhay also says that it was a “picnic” shooting with Prakash Jha, adding, “The topic is so relevant. Moreover, I’ve loved Prakash Jha’s previous films.”
Fitting the film into his schedule was not a problem as Abhay’s other film, Rocker Shaadi “didn’t work out”. But why has it been shelved? Pat comes Abhay’s reply: “You’ll have to ask the producers about that!”
