Bollywood actor Dino Morea, who is preparing for the release of ‘Four More Shots Season 4’, has praised actors Bobby Deol and Akshaye Khanna for their impactful recent performances. He pointed out how the digital era has significantly broadened their reach.
In an exclusive conversation, Dino fondly recalled his earlier films, ‘Raaz’ and ‘Aksar’, noting that audiences still remember him because of those roles.
When asked about Bobby Deol and Akshaye Khanna becoming sensations online, Dino expressed, “The way Bobby has got his chance to shine in Animal and Akshaye has got his chance to shine, especially in Dhurandhar more than Chaava, is incredible.”
He reminisced, “When I had Raaz as a success or Aksar as a success, there was really no social media, right? So, people saw the movies and still remember me from then.” Dino shared how Raaz reached viewers “from villages to top-tier cities,” emphasizing that feedback at that time came primarily from real audiences.
He compared that era to today’s landscape, saying, “Today, people don’t see a film, but they are all over the internet. And that spread is faster and wider.”
Reflecting on his journey from a leading model to making a mark in Raaz, Dino mentioned that fame operated differently in the pre-social media age. He further stated, “If I had to do something like Akshay or Bobby did today in a certain role, I think that would spread really fast through the internet. And I would probably have the same craze that they are having today. And I feel fantastic for the both of them because they are brilliant.”
Dino concluded by asserting that the attention both actors are receiving is thoroughly deserved and showcases their talent.
For those who may not know, Dino Morea began his career in the Hindi film industry with the 1999 release Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi alongside Rinkie Khanna. He will soon appear in the fourth season of the OTT series ‘Four More Shots Please Season 4’, sharing the screen with Kirti Kulhari, Sayani Gupta, Maanvi Gagroo, Bani J, Prateik Babbar, Neil Bhoopalam, Rajeev Siddhartha, and Lisa Ray.
