The son of veteran character actor Suresh Oberoi, Vivek Oberoi made his Bollywood debut as the gritty gangster Chandu Nagre in Ram Gopal Varma's Company, where he was pitted against Ajay Devgn.
Vivek's performance got noticed and won him many accolades and he also won the Filmfare Award that year for Best Debut and Best Supporting Actor. Following this, Vivek appeared in many movies like Road, Saathiya and Dum. Oberoi also played the role of Kesu Firangi in Vishal bhardwaj's Omkara, which was a desi adaptation of Othello.
Vivek's another big break came when he played the role of gangster Maya Dolas in Shootout At Lokhandwala, a multi-starrer film starring actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty and Amrita Singh, to name a few.
Apart from acting, Vivek is quite active when it comes to social causes and has also lent his support to anti-smoking and anti-gutkha campaigns. Oberoi serves as the World Health Organization's anti-tobacco spokesperson and is also involved with several charities in Chennai and Mumbai. His philanthropic activities also include Project Devi, Cancer Patients Aid Association and Banyan, which works towards rehabilitating mentally challenged homeless women.
On 29 October 2010, Oberoi married Priyanka Alva, the daughter of Karnataka minister Jeevaraj Alva in Bangalore and the actor is expected to be a father soon. On the professional side, Oberoi will be seen in films like Kismet Love Paisa Dilli, Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story and Krrish 3, where he will be seen playing the role of an antagonist named Kaal.
On the occasion of his birthday, we at Movie Talkies wish this talented actor a long and prosperous life.
Though there have been many rumours over the years about actress Priyanka Chopra undergoing surgery to enhance her facial features (there were reports about a lip job, amongst other things), Piggy Chops, as she is fondly known, recently declared that she has never undergone cosmetic surgery.
In a recent interview, Priyanka was quoted saying that she never felt the need for any enhancement surgery. Though she said that she is not against plastic surgery as such if women want to improve their looks, she added that she personally has never gone under the knife and that it hurts when people judge or crucify her on imaginary counts.
Priyanka, who was last seen playing Hrithik Roshan's love interest in revenge drama Agneepath, will be once more paired opposite the actor in the latter's super-hero flick Krrish 3.
Hrithik Roshan will be next seen playing the role of a masked super-hero in Rakesh Roshan's Krrish 3 and the actor's look in the film has been closely guarded by the unit ever since the shooting for the film commenced.
However, now it seems that doting daddy Rakesh Roshan is not just happy with banning mobile phones from the sets (which is a normal precaution that filmmakers take). Sources claim that Roshan Sr has also banned visitors from the sets. Not only this, Roshan has reportedly also instructed the make up artistes and hair stylists to not click picturesof the actor, a normal practice for such technicians for references to maintain continuity in the character's looks.
Apart from Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra, who had acted in the prequel, the super-hero flick will also star Kangana Ranaut and Vivek Oberoi, who will be seen playing a villain named Kaal.
Fans of Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan, who were looking forward to see the former appear in a cameo in the latter's superhero flick Krrish 3, will surely sigh in disappointment on reading this piece of news.
It seems that director Rakesh Roshan recently denied reports about Khan appearing in a cameo in the film. It had been reported back then that the King Khan might reprise his RA.One superhero role for Krrish 3. However, now it seems that Khan might just be helping the Roshans with the special effects for the movie, as he has dealt with this department during his own RA.One days.
Krrish 3, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra, will also have actor Vivek Oberoi playing the role of the antagonist named Kaal. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen playing a romantic role in Yash Chopra's Untitled flick, which also stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma as the female leads.
After Hrithik Roshan agreed to appear in a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Don 2, it now seems that the King Khan is all set to return the favour. Sources claim that Khan will probably be seen in a cameo in Hrithik's super-hero flick Krrish 3.
It is being said that the two superstars have been meeting up recently to discuss the possibilities of Khan appearing in Krrish 3 and that as Khan has already played a super-hero in RA.One, he might even appear in that avatar in Hrithik's flick, in which the latter himself plays a masked super-hero.
Directed by Rakesh Roshan, Krrish 3 will also star Vivek Oberoi as the antagonist Kaal.
