Abhay Deol hopes 'Socha Na Tha' will do well

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,February 11 2005]

Abhay Deol, the latest entrant to Bollywood from the Deol family is on tenterhooks wondering how the audience will react to his maiden release "Socha Na Tha" slated for Feb 18.

Though being launched in a home-production and having the entire Deol family standing firmly behind him is a great way to start a career, Abhay is aware of his responsibilities, reports Bollywood Trade.

"It is a great advantage being from the Deol family since there is the curiosity factor, my being Sunny and Bobby's younger brother. On the other hand, it also means conforming to some pre-conceived expectations and notions. If I don't, the backlash is likely to be even stronger," says the down-to-earth and unassuming Abhay.

Reacting to the recently released promos of the film, Abhay says "We were initially a bit sceptical whether the newly released promos had given away the mystery of the film to the audiences but on second thoughts they give a true feel of the film and what it is all about.

"It is not the case where you see some very clean promos and go to the theatre to realise that the film qualifies for adult viewing more than anything else," Abhay tells you.
