Vivek Oberoi – Another perfectionist in the making?

Vivek Oberoi made more than extra efforts to lend perfection to his role in the forthcoming film Omkara , which is inspired by William Shakespeare’s Othello.

Vivek plays the dynamic Kesu – one of the chief cohorts of Omkara – played by Ajay Devgan .

On Vivek’s effort to get under the skin of his character Director Vishal Bhardwaj wrote in his book based on the play: “Vivek surrendered himself to the script and surprised me with his diligence…For one sequence, he had to play the guitar and sing. He practiced non-stop for a month and on the day of the shoot, blew everyone with his performance. It’s turned out to be one of the best scenes in the film.”

In the film, there is a sequence where Vivek's character strums the guitar and the actor wanted to get under the skin of character thoroughly and started taking guitar lessons. His musician friend used to travel all the way to Wai, near Mahabaleshwar, to teach him to play the stringed instrument.

"Vivek is a very dedicated actor. He started learning to play the guitar only to get into character for the sequence in the film. He has done a fabulous job in 'Omkara'," said Bhardwaj who is quite impressed with Vivek's sincerity towards his work.

Vivek returns the compliment by saying: "I would rather let my work speak for itself. I am looking forward to 'Omkara'. Vishal Bhardwaj has an excellent vision."

'Omkara' also stars Kareena Kapoor , Saif Ali Khan , Naseeruddin Shah , Konkana Sen and Bipasha Basu in a special appearance.

'Omkara' is slated to release on July 28 along with Anthony Kaun Hai .
