Vivek Oberoi
Vivek Oberoi is currently on cloud nine as he has some of the biggest projects in his kitty. A few days back, he expressed excitement about being a part of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit. Now, he has confirmed his presence in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayan, stating that it is a film close to his heart. He also shared what he will do with the money he earns from the film.
For those unversed, the actor will essay the role of Vibhishan, Raavan's brother, in the film. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the actor called the film "India's answer to Hollywood epics." Vivek also revealed he donated his fee for Ramayan to a cause close to his heart. "I told Namit (Malhotra) that I don't want a penny for this. I want to donate it to a cause I believe in - helping kids with cancer," he shared.
Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayan is touted to be Bollywood's biggest film, set to dominate globally and change the face of Indian cinema. It stars Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and KGF star Yash as Raavan. The film also features Lara Dutta, Sunny Deol, Ravie Dubey, Adinath Kothare, Sheeba Chaddha, and many others in pivotal roles.
The actor further reflected on his upcoming back-to-back offerings: Masti 4, Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit with Prabhas, and Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayan: Part 1. Vivek said, "They say the universe works on vibrations and how you feel. When you're at ease with yourself, not desperate or stressed about your career, things fall into place. I'm relaxed, listening to a lot of scripts, and lucky to choose projects purely out of passion, not compulsion."
Talking about working on Masti 4, the actor called it a nostalgic reunion with his co-stars. "It's been 21 years since the first film, and the chemistry with Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, and Milap Milan Zaveri, who's directing this one, is still amazing," he added. The trailer of the film will be unveiled on October 28, and the upcoming installment is set to hit theaters on November 21, promising another dose of laughter, mischief, and fun.
