New Delhi, March 04: He has charted out a different path for himself in Bollywood with out-of-the-box films like ‘Oye Lucky Lucky Oye’ and ‘Dev D’ but what irks Abhay Deol the most is being labelled as a ‘non-commercial’ and ‘non-mainstream’ actor.
Abhay, who started his journey as a romantic hero in Imtiaz Ali’s debut film ‘Socha Na Tha’ in 2005, has come a long way in the industry.
And while he likes to be part of movies that are different and do not follow the formula, Abhay says being labelled harms him as an actor.
“I dislike labels like commercial and non commercial.
As soon as you say that this film is not commercial you kill the market of a movie. It harms me when people say I am non-mainstream or non-commercial actor. I try to fight off such labels,” Abhay told PTI in an interview.
