Bollywood stars are slowly entering unexplored terrain. After Ajay Devgan’s villainous act in Khakee, followed by Saif’s act in Omkara, now it’s the turn of the new breed of actors, Hrithik Roshan and Viveik Oberoi. While Hrithik is playing a sophisticated villain in Dhoom 2, Viveik is doing just the opposite. He’s playing the character of a dreaded gangster Maya Dolas, who was killed in an infamous police encounter which took place in the 90’s in the suburbs of Mumbai.


And the Oberoi boy who always believes in method acting is meeting people and studying their mannerisms to give his character a real look. “He’s often spotted in a 5-star hotel in the suburbs meeting people and disusing his role with them,” says a friend of the star. From gangster to lover boy to gangster again, Viveik’s career seems to have come full circle!
