Deol expressed his desire to work on a digital platform, but he was waiting for the right project. He informed, for actors who want to play different kinds of characters, the web serves as an amazing platform. But you have to choose the right project. He exclaimed that he couldn't do anything and everything. He went on to say that there is plenty of work, but it is important to make the right choice. Bobby Deol would be seen next in the movie ‘Housefull 4’, teaming up with Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh.
Red Chillies Entertainment produced the movie ‘Badla’ recently. The movie was a super hit at the box-office. Shahrukh Khan’s venture with Netflix has a purpose. In his recent interview with a news portal, he talked about those projects which cannot be a part of the theatre and require a platform. He talked about those missed opportunities for showcasing small films due to the absence of a platform.
