Mumbai, Dec 17 (NationPress) Bollywood actor Dino Morea, who is preparing for his upcoming release, 'Four More Shots Season 4', has praised actors Bobby Deol and Akshaye Khanna for their remarkable performances, emphasizing how the digital age has significantly increased their popularity.
In an exclusive interview with IANS, Dino reflected on his films ‘Raaz’ and ‘Aksar’, sharing that audiences continue to recognize him from these projects.
When asked about his thoughts on Bobby Deol and Akshaye Khanna becoming sensations online, Dino remarked, “The way Bobby has been given the opportunity to shine in Animal, and Akshaye has made a mark, especially in Dhurandhar more than Chaava, is truly commendable.”
He elaborated, “At the time of my success with Raaz and Aksar, there wasn’t any social media, right? Audiences experienced the films first-hand and still remember me from that era.”
Dino highlighted how Raaz resonated with viewers “from rural areas to metropolitan cities,” noting that feedback came solely from genuine audiences.
In contrast to today, he stated, “Nowadays, people might not watch a film, but they are all over social media. The reach is faster and broader.”
Reflecting on his career path, from a leading model to gaining fame through Raaz, Dino shared with IANS that recognition operated differently before social media took over.
He concluded, “If I had a role like that of Akshay or Bobby today, it would spread rapidly online, and I would likely enjoy the same level of popularity they are currently experiencing. I am genuinely happy for both of them as they are exceptional talents.”
For those unfamiliar, Dino Morea made his acting debut in the Hindi film industry with the 1999 release Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi, opposite Rinkie Khanna.
The actor is set to appear in the fourth season of the OTT series 'Four More Shots Please Season 4', alongside Kirti Kulhari, Sayani Gupta, Maanvi Gagroo, Bani J, Prateik Babbar, Neil Bhoopalam, Rajeev Siddhartha, and Lisa Ray.
