Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi is known for sharing his screen space with specific Tamil actors like Suriya in RGV’s Raktha Charithra. The latest birdie hints that he is likely to play the baddie opposite Thala in his upcoming film, tentatively titled as AK 57. The makers have approached him with the script and official confirmation whether if he is on board will arrive in a couple of days.
It is notable that Ajith Kumar is also known for acting with Bollywood actors like Shah Rukh Khan in Asoka. But this is the first time for the big shot Vivek Oberoi to act in a Tamil film and with Ajith. Vivek was last seen playing the negative role in Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish which was also well received by the audiences.
Earlier we heard that the team approached Kiccha Sudeep, Arvind Swami, Prasanna and Abhishek Bachchan for the same role and all of them turned down the offer for some reason. Directed by Siruthai Siva and produced by Sathya Jyothi Films, the shooting is currently taking place at Ramoji Rao Film City in Hyderabad. After the completion of the Hyderabad schedule, the team will fly abroad to film the remaining portions.
