Philadelphia: Casts Vivek despite the actor's image, is confident he will deliver
 Karan Johar has left for a five-day schedule to Philadelphia for his film staring Saif-Kareena and Vivek Oberoi. Directed by Rensil D'Silva, the project has Oberoi in what Karan calls an 'important role'.
Unperturbed by Vivek's reputation and his image in the industry, Karan says he has immense faith in the actor and is sure he will deliver.
He can do it!
On selecting Oberoi for the role, he says, "I have chosen Vivek because he suits the role. It's a good role and he fits the script's demands. I never cast actors based on their images or perceptions of the industry or the media. Vivek is a good actor and I am confident in his ability to deliver."
When asked if the actor's not-so-great run at the box-office affects him, he adds, "Not at all. However, I can say that Vivek will have to give 300 per cent. It's a role that does justice to him. I am sure he will take it seriously."
It's aesthetic
Recently, in an interview, Salman spoke about John's exposure in Dostana being a bit too much and not suited for family audiences. Reacting to Salman's comments, Karan says, "I don't want to say anything on this. Salman is a senior in the industry. However, I would like to add that John's look is very aesthetically done and the film has been accepted worldwide."
Will Karan blog from Philadelphia? "I don't know yet. For me, blogging is very therapeutic. It's a relief and a hobby. I love reading the comments people post in response to my blogs."
