By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 24 July 2026 1:17 PM ISTBollywood actor Bobby Deol is currently enjoying the success of working in several South Indian films. His latest movie Jana Nayagan, starring Vijay, has finally reached theatres after a long delay. Ahead of the film's release, Bobby shared some interesting memories about working with Vijay and other South Indian superstars.
During a recent interview, Bobby said he did not stay in touch with Vijay after the shooting ended. According to him, "He doesn't like to do too much promotion. He doesn't do anything. He just believes." Bobby respected Vijay's style and said every actor has their own way of handling film promotions.
The actor also spoke about his experience of working with Suriya in Kanguva. Bobby said the movie had a very good concept, even though it did not perform as expected at the box office. He described Suriya as a kind person and said they had many good conversations during the shoot. Bobby added that Suriya's family connection with Mumbai made it easier for them to interact.
Bobby then shared a funny observation about the South actors he has worked with. He joked, "Every time I've worked with these actors, they've all become ministers." He laughed while mentioning stars like Vijay, Nandamuri Balakrishna and Pawan Kalyan. Bobby made it clear that he was only joking and found the coincidence amusing.
In Jana Nayagan, Bobby plays the powerful villain named Phoenix. The film is directed by H. Vinoth and also stars Pooja Hegde and Mamitha Baiju in important roles. This movie is also special because it is being promoted as Vijay's final film before he fully focuses on politics.
Early box office reports suggest that Jana Nayagan has opened strongly and is expected to collect impressive numbers worldwide. However, the film has received mixed reviews from critics. While many praised Vijay's screen presence and performance, some reviewers felt the story did not give the superstar the memorable farewell film that fans had hoped for.
