Abhay Deol is all set to play the role of a father to a teenage daughter in Disney Channel’s original movie Spin, directed by Manjari Makijany, that is premiering on Disney International HD on August 13 in the US. This is the first time that the actor is playing a father on-screen.
Asked if he had any qualms about playing a dad to a teenager, Abhay Deol told Bollywood Life in an interview, "If I had to have qualms about anything then I would have had them 10-12 years ago doing what I was doing in Bollywood. I have never really held back, I am quite secure in who I am and where I come from. The Netflix show that I am doing spans 20 years, I go from 39 to 59. I can play my age, I can play 10-12 years younger still, so I am just having fun."
He added, "As long as people are convinced that I am that role whether at 35 or 45, I would like to do both. You just got to take care of yourself so that you can pass for the ages that you play. I would like to stick to that window. Bollywood still will cast actors who are in their 50s opposite girls who are in their 20s and not even make it about an older man and younger girl, they will make them look like as a couple. In that environment, what does it matter?"
Abhay Deol recently featured in web series 1962: The War in the Hills.
