Deol Brothers Sunny-Bobby Back Together for Poshter Boyz
S
hreyas Talpade has donned the director’s hat for the
Hindi remake of his Marathi production, Poshter Boyz.
Besides the actor himself, the film stars the Deol brothers,
Sunny and Bobby, and is inspired by a real-life case of
three men finding themselves on a poster promoting vasectomy
accidently. The flick would back Deol brothers together on the
silver screen once again.
Speaking about the casting coup, Shreyas told, “I’m looking
forward to work with Paaji (Sunny Deol) and Bobby. I wanted a
guy who is a He-man, the symbol of masculinity. Someone like him
finding himself on a poster promoting vasectomy was amusing and
when I narrated the character to paaji, he loved it. Then, I thought
casting Bobby would be an out-of-the-box idea because he’s been a
style icon and a chocolate hero. Yes, it’s a casting coup!”
