Watchout for Vivek's performance in SHOOT OUT...

His role in NAKSHA, may not have found the desired appeal with Sunny Deol holding center stage but Viveik Oberoi's performance in SHOOT OUT AT LOKHANDWALA, will be something to watch out for according to director, Apoorva Lakhia. The film is based on a series of events that happened in 1991 when gangster, Maya Dolas had spread a reign of terror. Viveik's character is loosely inspired by Maya Dolas' character and Lakhia specially chose him to play the role after seeing his performance in COMPANY. "The role is tailor-made for him and his was the first name that came to my mind when I started casting for the film. He was fantastic in both COMPANY and SAATHIYA, two of his films that I had seen before," Apoorva reveals.

He is all praise for Viveik's performance in the film. "He is an intense performer but I think his performance in my film is just above the ordinary. Moreover, Viveik is an involved actor, who takes his role to a very different level," Apoorva adds. According to him, Viveik has had a rough patch in his career like most other actors do, but he feels that Viveik has a great future ahead.
