Is
Vivek
Oberoi
getting
a
raw
deal?
The
Kurbaan
promos
feature
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Kareena
Kapoor
all
the
way.
Vivek
Oberoi
who
plays
the
third
main
protagonist
is
hardly
glimpsed
in
the
entire
promotional
campaign,
triggering
off
a
widespread
feeling
that
things
are
not
so
right
between
Vivek
and
the
Kurbaan
team.
However
the
explanation
for
Vivek"s
absence
is
far
more
bizarre
than
the
normal
raw-deal
rona-dona.
Apparently
his
role
is
so
deeply
affiliated
to
the
plot"s
suspense
that
every
moment
shown
in
the
promos
featuring
Oberoi
would
have
the
tendency
to
give
away
the
story.
Laughs
director
Rensil
D"Silva,
“It"s
a
very
strange
situation.
Vivek
is
one
of
the
central
characters.
But
almost
every
scene
of
his
is
a
dead
giveaway
of
the
suspense.
What
do
we
do?"
Rensil
has
discussed
the
problem
with
Vivek.
“And
he
is
absolutely
cool
with
being
the
band
mutthi
of
the
film.
I"ve
spoken
to
Vivek
and
explained
the
dilemma.
He
was
cool
with
not
being
featured
in
the
promos
that
much.
He
said
to
do
whatever
is
right
for
the
film
because
when
the
film
opens
the
truth
about
the
extent
of
his
role
would
be
out.
Vivek
has
worked
very
hard
in
the
film.
He
had
to
acquire
a
true
New
Yorker"s
accent
and
not
the
kind
Indians
get
at
the
John
F
Kennedy
airport."
Vivek
worked
really
hard
on
the
accent.
“We
had
a
couple
of
New
Yorkers
on
the
sets
to
coach
him.
He"s
got
the
NY
accent
bang-on.
It"s
not
a
borough-specific
accent
(NY
has
5
boroughs
each
with
its
own
speaking
patter).
It"s
a
general
New
York
twang.
And
Vivek
is
superb
with
it."
Rensil
cuts
down
the
belief
that
Vivek
has
a
cameo
in
Kurbaan?
“Not
true
at
all.
Vivek
is
in
80
percent
of
the
film.
He"s
central
to
the
drama.
Vivek
worked
very
hard
on
the
role.
He
was
in
my
room
in
Philadelphia
every
night
to
discuss
his
diction,
dialogues
and
looks.
I
seem
his
career
at
the
cusp
of
something
really
exciting."
