"We made you cry in Apne. Now we want to make you laugh." This is the promise that Bobby Deol made on his family's behalf in London earlier this month when a saleslady at a departmental store accused him of making her sister cry.
On his return home Bobby initiated the idea with his Sunny Bhaiyya who was game.
And now the hunt is on for a comedic script that would showcase the Deol family as effectively as Apne.
"See, drama is relatively easier. And still we had to wait for years before Anil Sharma, a family friend, could come up with the script for Apne," says Bobby. "Comedy that would accommodate all three of us is even tougher specially since Dad has done such great comic work in Chupke Chupke,Pratiggya and Sholay."
If the comic screenplay doesn't materialize the Deols will go ahead with another drama, directed again by Anil Sharma.
But this time, the family film will be produced by the Deols since they feel Apne wasn't promoted properly.
Bobby is incredulous. "And still it has touched hearts of viewers across the world. We've decided to work together as often as possible. Apne will always remain a favourite. Dillagi that my Bhaiyya directed with both me and him in the lead is also very close to my heart."
