Give him something he hasn’t done before, and Abhay Deol will jump at it. His penchant for doing offbeat things has led him to join forces with EDM artiste PIA for Follow the toad. Joe Sill —who previously directed commercials for Apple, Nike, and Warner Bros. Games—shot the music video in a day using virtual production. For Deol, being part of a virtual production only added to the appeal. “[Usually], you’re on location and don’t have to use much of your imagination. But in a virtual production, you can let your imagination fly and play with it. I did it for the fun experience and because I love the music,” says the actor, who shot the single in LA last November.
