Vivek Oberoi was last seen in Krrish 3
Highlights
- Vivek Oberoi believes his decision to experiment with edgy roles in Shootout at Lokhandwala and in Krrish 3 comes from his quest to becoming a fearless actor.
- Vivek, 37, who played the super villain Kaal in Krrish 3 opposite Hrithik Roshan, said for an actor it takes some amount of courage to opt for a negative role especially when one has an image of a "hero" in the movies.
- "When you have the image of a hero, a lead man in the movies, I think it becomes a brave and fearless decision to take on a super villain role. It took a lot of courage from my side. I always wanted to be a fearless actor. While doing Company, people said you should be doing something different like a love story or a launch pad film," Vivek told PTI.
- "But, it was a brave choice to do that film because I had to turn myself as a dark character. People appreciated that. Every time I have made these fearless choices in my life, I think I have done well," he added.
- Helmed by Rakesh Roshan, Krrish 3 saw Hrithik reprising his role as the superhero after Koi... Mil Gaya and Krrish. The film also stars Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut.
- Vivek, who found the role challenging, is euphoric about the success of the movie.
- "It is definitely the most challenging role in my career. It was a very difficult role to pull. It was a not a very easy task for me. The kind of response and craze I'm getting from people which is something like redefining the Indian villain, it's quite fabulous," he added.
- Vivek is planning to celebrate his success by going on a holiday with his wife Priyanka Alva and his around 9-month-old son Vivaan.
- The actor feels that it has been a lucky year for him because he became a father, saw the success of Grand Masti and enjoyed his stint as one of the judges with Sonali Bendre and Anurag Basu in hit TV show 'India's Best Dramebaaz'.
- "It has been a dream run, a golden run for me. My TV show was a big hit. This year's Grand Masti cracked 112 crores. And Krrish 3 looks positive to hit really high numbers. All thanks to the blessings of my family, the good wishes of my fans and my son. I think his coming has changed my life forever," he said.
