And though Bobby says he's open to outside offers, brother Sunny in an interview some time ago spilled the beans to this writer when he said that the brothers are moving towards producing and acting in their own films, after having gotten a raw deal from all the big banners of Bollywood.
Like his dad and elder brother Bobby Deol is now fully into family concerns. In fact the younger Deol scion is so much into production now, he wishes he had got into before.
"It's with my new film that open this week that I've become involved with our home production. I've been totally involved with its shooting and post-production.
I'm like an apprentice on the job, learning about how to produce a film. My brother believes I've been lazy. But I now realize home productions give me the choice to do the kind of films I want to do.
Outside producers only come to you with the films that THEY believe in. For my new film I've been part of the music sitting, pre-production, post-production.It's my baby.And I want to do this more often."
Bobby now wants to assist directors and get more proficient with the technique of filmmaking. "I've been part of this industry for years. And my brother is into direction. I don't feel raedy for it. I wish I was."
What Bobby is ready for is another film with his father Dharmendra. "It's a father-son story. There's no other way we can come together on screen. Sangeeth Sivan is directing it.
It's the story of a father and son discovering each other during a journey. Then I'm doing an action-comedy with Sunny Deol.
But it won't be just fun. We brothers will share a lot of emotional moments We can't come together without sharing emotions. That will be directed by Samir Karnik who's another of my favourite directors right now. I've done two films with Samir and we Deols are very impressed by his work."
Sangeeth Sivan and Samir Karnik are part of a new set of directors the Deols want to cultivate, like they once nurtured the talents of Gurinder Chadha and Raj Kumar Santoshi.
Says Bobby, "Though I'm open to outside offers it's definitely more productive to do home productions where everything is under our control. And we have three inhouse actors."
Dad Dharmendra recently underwent knee surgery in the US. "And he has recovered very well. I'm dying to work with him. We start in October-end."
