Road,
Movie
may
have
seen
a
premature
end
to
it's
box
office
run
in
India.
However,
its
lead
actor
Abhay
Deol
is
undeterred.
Happy
with
the
critical
appreciation
coming
the
film's
way,
he
is
positive
that
in
years
to
come,
the
film
will
definitely
get
its
due
recoginition
amongst
a
wide
set
of
audience.
"See,
Road,
Movie
was
very
different
from
Dev
D,
Oye
Lucky
Lucky
Oye
or
other
films
that
I
have
done",
reflects
Abhay,
"I
am
sure
there
were
many
out
there
who
appreciated
it
for
the
kind
of
difference
it
made
to
cinema.
In
fact
if
they
haven't
done
it
now,
then
I
am
sure
10-15
years
down
the
line,
they
would
hail
'Road,
Movie'
as
a
landmark
film.
I
am
quite
positive
about
that",However,
the
issue
still
lies
with
the
restricted
market
that
India
currently
has
for
such
a
'change'.
Agreed
that
Abhay
has
made
a
conscious
call
when
it
comes
to
his
choice
of
films.
However,
doesn't
he
fear
that
in
the
process
of
doing
so,
he
is
perhaps
alienating
himself
from
majority
of
Bollywood?
"Let
me
state
some
facts",
Abhay
gets
into
a
serious
mode,
"What
happens
in
the
West
is
that
people
tend
to
do
only
that
work
that
they
can
add
value
to.
They
understand
their
limitations
and
don't
ever
decide
to
do
something
which
doesn't
suit
them.
For
example,
a
Tom
Hanks
can
not
do
what
Arnold
can
do.
They
don't
try
to
step
into
each
other's
shoes
unnecessarily.
One
actor
may
have
a
muscular
body
and
another
may
have
a
leaner
body
and
due
to
that
they
take
on
roles
accordingly."
"On
the
other
hand
in
Bollywood
everything
is
so
formulaic",
Abhay
starts
drawing
distinctions
here,
"An
actor
is
required
to
look
good,
put
on
muscles
and
do
everything
else
which
is
expected
from
a
quintessential
Bollywood
hero.
No
wonder,
they
end
up
competing
with
each
other
at
that
level
and
start
looking
just
the
same.
"Talking
about
his
own
philosophy
of
picking
and
choosing
work,
Abhay
says,
"This
is
why
I
have
always
said
that
an
actor
has
to
tell
himself
what
he
is
capable
of,
what
are
his
strengths
and
how
can
he
push
them
to
his
limits.
I
have
to
strive
to
get
out
of
my
comfort
zone
while
still
doing
sensible
stuff.
The
day
more
and
more
actors
start
doing
that,
it
would
bring
on
a
change
in
the
cinema
that
we
make.
Yes,
there
are
some
other
actors
also
who
are
trying
to
do
that
and
this
indeed
is
a
positive
sign.
