Abhay Deol: 'My family advised me not to get into production'

Actor Abhay Deol, who is known for his unconventional roles, is now turning producer with his upcoming film One By Two. However, we hear that his family didn't want him to foray into production at such an early stage.

While his family was always supportive of his decision, they wanted him to continue with acting and try more films before taking a plunge into production.

Abhay's uncle Dharmendra and cousin Sunny Deol advised him to focus on acting however, Abhay was quite keen on doing something different. “My family advised me not to get into production. They did not want me to venture into production right now. But producing One By Two has been a great experience with my long-time friend Amit Kapoor who has co-produced it and my friend and supporter Sanjay Kapoor,” says Abhay.

One By Two stars Preeti Desai opposite Abhay and is slated to release on January 31.
