Company man Vivek Oberoi was supposed to play the male lead in Vinod Chopra’s next film, but was replaced with Hrithik Roshan at the last moment.
Still Vivek hasn’t lost anything from the whole deal as he has been signed by Chopra’s assistant Sameer Karnik for his directorial venture.
While there were reports about Chopra recommending Vivek to his assistant to compensate the young actors loss of a movie, Karnik, film’s director, makes it clear that he signed Vivek because ‘he fitted the role perfectly’.
Not much information is forthcoming about Vivek’s female co-star in the film.
There are rumors that Big B has also been approached to play an important role in the film.
