Abhay Deol reveals why ‘Happy Bhag Jayegi’ is an important film for him

Abhay Deol is all set to make his big screen comeback with Mudassar Aziz’s ‘Happy Bhag Jayegi’. Recently, at the trailer launch of the film, the actor revealed that why the movie is important for him.

When Abhay was asked if ‘Happy Bhag Jayegi’ is an important film of his career, he said, “I guess, because there has been a long gap, some people are also saying this is going to be my comeback, in that regard it is extremely important.”

“Because if people are saying it is a ‘comeback’ and even then it doesn’t work, people will say ‘go back’. So maybe it is a lot heavier than before,” the actor added.

The movie is produced by Aanand L Rai and Krishika Lulla, and the actor says that this time there is one advantage that his movie is backed by a big production house.

Abhay said, “One advantage is that at least a production house, a studio is backing me which were missing from my earlier films. The films were always independent.”

Talking about the 100 crore club trend, the ‘Socha Na Tha’ actor said, “The media is focusing on ‘100 crore’ and not on films which are breaking the mould, breaking a formula. What if it didn’t make money, at least they made the film. Only when it reaches Rs. 100-cr, it is being talked about.”

“Why is it that money has become the benchmark and not creativity? It is not uncommon to make a 100-cr film with the right stars behind it but it is very rare to make a film which breaks the mould,” he added.
