Despite some recent slanderous reports slamming actor Vivek Oberoi for his high-headed behavior, the actor was in his cool avatar during the shooting of a TV show that will be aired on Friday.
Just a few days back, there were reports alleging Vivek made “unreasonable demands” (of milk and sandwich) to the organizers while filming for the Sony show ‘Indian Idol 2’. Those reports may have been overblown because while shooting for another TV show, ‘Ek Main Aur Ek Tu’, early this week Vivek was in his coolest and cooperating self.
It happened that while shooting for the show there was a major power failure. And Vivek showed remarkable patience while the organizers took longer than expected to fix the problem.
Gajendra Singh, the producer-director of the show, is quoted by IANS: “Vivek was more cooperative than any star we have had on the show. We had a major power failure. Vivek was cool. He waited, offered to go for dinner and return, and still waited some more. And his inside knowledge of music bowled everyone over, including the maestro - judge Hariharan.”
In fact, Hariharan could not refrain from speaking highly of Vivek's music sense on the show. The programme will be aired on Friday.
Also on Friday, Vivek’s latest movie Pyare Mohan would hit the theatres. The film has Vivek playing a deaf guy. Fardeen Khan plays his blind friend.
