Vivek out, Hussain in

TV star Kuwajerwalla replaces Oberoi in Kingdom of Dreams

Kingdom Of Dreams, the musical extravaganza conceived along the lines of Broadway musicals and starring Vivek Oberoi, will now have television star Hussain Kuwajerwalla in the main role. Vivek had earlier said he was enthusiastic about going back to theatre and had even started rehearsals for the play in New Delhi. But after Prince becoming a hit and with Ram Gopal Varma needing more dates of Vivek for Raktacharitra, the actor had to opt out of Kingdom Of Dreams. It was then that Javed Akhtar, who is scripting the musical, suggested Hussain's name to the producers.
