Karthi spoke of how many prefer to have a single child these days, but he was lucky to have Suriya and said, 'It's a special thing to have an older brother.

Bobby Deol Talks About Kanguva Flop, Says He Wanted To Work With Suriya: 'Script Didn't Work Out'
Last Updated: Bobby Deol gets candid on Kanguva's box office failure, calls Suriya 'a great actor". Bobby Deol's second innings in cinema has been full of dark, intense villain roles – from Aashram to Animal and Daaku Maharaj. But his much-anticipated Tamil debut, Kanguva, co-starring Suriya, didn't quite set the box office on fire. 'I Did Kanguva For Suriya, Says Bobby Deol' In a chat with Faridoon Shahryar, Bobby revealed his main reason for signing the period action drama. 'I did Kanguva because I always wanted to be a part of a film with Suriya as he is a great actor." Bobby played the menacing Udhiran, who locks horns with Suriya's warrior prince Kanguvan – ruler of the island of Perumaachi in the year 1070. Earlier, Suriya had described how Kanguva director Siva cast Bobby for Udhiran's role. According to the 49-year-old actor, director Siva had watched Bobby only in the Celebrity Cricket League before and only some clips. Based on those works, the director decided to rope in Bobby as the antagonist's character. Suriya said that by the time Bobby was selected for the Kanguva, his film Animal had not been released on the silver screens. Bobby Deol's Honest Take On Kanguva Flopping Talking about the film tanking at the box office, Bobby didn't hold back. 'What can you do when the script doesn't work out? Sometimes I just want to be happy while shooting for a film. I want to be there because as an actor, I can grow," he said. Bobby Deol Hit Film Daaku Maharaj While Kanguva failed to click, Bobby had reason to smile earlier this year. 'I was a part of Daaku Maharaaj, which hit theatres in January. It was a big hit, and it was great working with Bala sir. He's literally the star of the masses." Apart from Suriya and Bobby, Kanguva starred an ensemble cast of actors Disha Patani, Yogi Babu, Prakash Raj and others. Karthi will also play a cameo role in this film. Studio Green and UV Creations have produced Kanguva. Bobby Deol Upcoming Movies The actor's southern journey continues with Jana Nayagan alongside Thalapathy Vijay, directed by H Vinoth. In Bollywood, he's part of Anurag Kashyap's Bandar and the YRF spy thriller Alpha with Alia Bhatt. Bobby Deol Cameo In War 2 Rumour mills are abuzz that Bobby Deol is joining the cast of the much-awaited War 2, which brings Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR together on screen for the first time. Despite buzz that Salman Khan's Tiger or Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan might show up in the end credits, sources say neither star will appear. Instead, the film will introduce Bobby in an all-new role. 'With War 2, Aditya Chopra will be establishing Bobby Deol to the Universe. It's an epic introduction to Bobby Deol's character, who is one of the main villains in the timeline going forward. Aditya Chopra is known to go against the tide, and instead of establishing his two female leads of Alpha – Alia Bhatt and Sharvari – he is going ahead by unleashing the negative force of the film, Bobby Deol," a source told Bollywood Hungama.
