HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Akshay Kumar clears rumours regarding Vivek17th Apr 2007 15.00 IST By Agencies Of late, rumours have been making rounds that Vivek Oberoi had approached filmmaker Vipul Shah for the role played by Upen Patel in his latest blockbuster Namastey London . However, actor Akshay Kumar , who is the movie’s main hero, has rubbished such reports as baseless.
Expressing his disgust on dragging Oberoi into a needless controversy, Akshay told reporters: “I am absolutely shocked that people can actually write or even go to such extent without verifying actual facts.” Akshay added: “Vivek is like a younger brother to me, he is close to my heart. In fact, I wanted Vivek to work in the film and suggested to Vipul, I can't believe why people are saying otherwise. I have great regard about Vivek and his potential.” In fact, sources close to Akshay say that Vipul Shah asked Vivek to meet him at his office to go through the script and Vivek went to meet Shah out of respect. But when Vivek heard the script, he felt that role would fit a newcomer and politely told Vipul that he would not be able to do the role. The role was eventually played by Upen Patel . Vivek, it appears, is keeping the second fiddle roles at bay after his rather forgettable role in Vishal Bharadwaj’s movie Omkara .
