Vivek
Oberoi
is
one
such
actor,
who
despite
acting
in
comparatively
less
number
of
films,
has
already
created
a
large
fan
following.
Films
apart,
Vivek
Oberoi
is
endorsing
a
soft
drink
'Fresh
Freezee'
where
the
actor
will
be
exhorting
the
youth
to
shun
alcohol.
This
promotional
is
being
brought
in
the
form
of
a
music
album
by
Vivek's
cousin
and
ad
filmmaker
Anand
Oberoi.
Recently,
we
caught
up
with
the
actor
to
know
about
this
ad
as
well
as
his
future
plans.
Here
are
the
excerpts.
Q:
What
has
actually
inspired
you
to
work
for
this
particular
album?
A:
Actually,
this
is
not
just
an
album,
but
a
terrific
concept
to
promote
a
cola.
The
product
is
an
alcohol
free
apple
juice
and
the
message
that
I
am
trying
to
convey
through
this
album
to
the
youth
is
that
we
can
make
our
lives
fun
filled
even
without
consuming
alcohol.
Initially,
this
was
just
a
simple
a
advertisement,
but
Pritam
has
composed
such
wonderful
music
for
the
promotional
that
we
have
decided
to
launch
it
as
a
music
album.
There
are
two
reasons
for
participating
in
this
ad-cum-music
album.
First
Anand,
and
second
the
unique
concept
of
the
entire
show
that
is
very
different
from
the
traditional
ads.
Q:
Tell
us
something
about
your
cousin
Anand.
A:
Anand
is
my
cousin
with
whom
I
have
lived
in
the
same
house.
Being
a
part
of
a
joint
family,
we
understand
each
other
very
well
and
since
we
grew
up
together
we
are
good
friends.
He
is
running
an
ad
company
for
the
last
12
years
and
is
a
very
successful
ad
filmmaker.
This
is
the
first
time
we
are
working
together
and
the
experience
has
been
great
since
he
is
not
only
my
cousin,
but
also
my
director
here.
Q:
Is
there
any
plans
that
he
will
direct
you
in
a
feature
film
after
this
album?
A:
It
would
be
too
early
to
say
anything
on
this.
First,
let
this
album
be
a
hit
and
then
we
will
consider
working
together
in
a
feature
film.
Q:
You
are
looking
very
good
…
A:
This
look
is
for
my
new
film
'Mission
Istanbul'
and
this
is
my
second
film
with
Apurva.
Here
I
am
playing
the
role
of
a
Turkish
commando
and
my
name
is
Rizwan.
Q:
We
have
heard
that
you
are
learning
Tai
Chi
for
this
film
and
at
the
same
time
your
6
pack
abs
too
is
the
talk
of
the
town…
A:
(Laughing)
Oh
God!
Look
the
main
attraction
of
this
film
is
neither
Tai
Chi
nor
my
6
pack
abs,
but
my
performance.
I
have
a
terrific
role
in
this
film.
This
is
a
beautiful
film
and
I
consider
myself
fortunate
to
be
able
to
act
in
another
good
film.
However,
I
cannot
tell
much
about
the
film
at
this
stage
for
I
fear
that
while
talking
much,
I
may
reveal
some
secret
packages
included
in
this
movie.
Nevertheless,
I
am
very
excited
about
this
film.
Q:
How
much
has
this
film
incorporated
scenes
from
Mithun
Chakraboty's
'Commando'?
A:
(Laughingly)
Are
you
a
Bengali?
I
believe
that
only
a
Bengali
(read
Mithun
fan)
can
ask
such
a
question.
Anyways,
I
am
not
performing
the
role
of
any
such
commando,
but
the
commando
in
this
film
is
a
very
likeable
person
and
the
centre
of
attraction
for
one
and
all
in
the
film.
Like
a
ghost,
this
character
sometimes
disappears
from
the
scene
and
then
suddenly
is
before
all.
This
character
is
larger
than
life,
something
that
you
may
have
read
in
the
books
as
a
child.
Q:
Alongside
acting,
you
have
always
taken
great
pains
to
make
your
look
appear
perfect.
Whether
it
is
Chandu
in
'Company'
or
Maya
Dolas
in
'Shootout
at
Lokhandwala'
it
has
been
the
same.
What
is
your
preparation
for
Rizwan
in
'Mission
Istanbul'?
A:
First
of
all
I
must
thank
you.
While
portraying
Maya
Dolas,
I
had
done
a
lot
of
research
and
on
the
basis
of
whatever
I
had
gathered,
I
tried
to
make
the
role
more
powerful.
However,
Apurva
has
taken
the
entire
responsibility
for
my
look
in
this
film.
He
has
argued
with
me
that
since
we
are
doing
two
films
back-to-back,
I
should
look
completely
different
from
Maya
Dolas
in
this
film.
This
is
the
sole
reason
why
my
looks
as
well
as
my
performance
have
undergone
a
transformation
in
this
film.
Rizwan
is
not
an
urban
gangster
like
Maya.
On
the
contrary,
he
is
much
disciplined
and
has
a
mission.
There
are
many
who
have
told
me
that
as
a
commando
I
should
be
wearing
a
uniform
and
short
hair.
However,
I
haven't
done
this
for
there
is
a
twist
in
this
film
which
you
shall
see
when
it
hits
the
screen.
Q:
What
is
the
reason
that
after
accepting
you
in
'Masti',
people
have
not
liked
you
in
comedies
like
'Pyare
Mohan'
and
'Fool
and
Final'?
Would
you
like
to
do
another
film
like
'Masti'?
A:
Definitely.
In
fact
I
am
going
through
some
comedy
stories
right
now.
Let's
see
if
they
materialize.
Q:
Is
it
true
that
you
are
acting
in
the
remake
of
the
Tamil
film
'7G
Rainbow
Colony'
and
Anubhav
SInha's
untitled
film?
A:
Look,
I
only
act
in
one
film
at
a
time.
Currently,
I
am
listening
to
many
stories
and
if
I
like
any
of
them,
I
may
agree
to
act
in
films
based
on
those
stories.
Presently,
I
am
busy
with
'Mission
Istanbul'
and
my
entire
concentration
is
on
this
film.
Once
this
film
is
over,
I
will
take
a
break
and
then
start
working
on
a
new
project.
This
is
my
style
of
working.
