Everyone
knows
that
Vivek
Oberoi
doesn't
like
to
smoke,
either
in
personal
life
nor
onscreen.
But,
finally
director
Apoorva
Lakhiya
has
convinced
Vivek
to
smoke
on
screen
for
their
upcoming
release
"Shootout
At
Lokhandwala".
Vivek,
who
plays
the
gangster
Maya
Dolas
in
the
film,
was
initially
quite
apprehensive
about
doing
smoking
scenes
because
he
hates
smoking.
However,
he
obliged
Apoorva
keeping
in
view
the
requirement
of
the
script
and
the
character,
which
is
based
on
the
life
of
a
real
gangster.
Being
an
anti-smoking
ambassador,
Vivek
was
initially
hesitating
to
do
smoking
scenes
on
screen
but
he
has
taken
this
chance
for
the
role.
He
is
actively
involved
with
a
number
of
NGOs
and
has
been
working
for
them.
Everybody
on
the
sets
was
aware
of
his
anti-smoking
nature
and
nobody
has
ever
found
him
taking
one
cigarettes
during
the
break.
Though
Vivek
has
done
smoking
scenes
in
this
film,
he
does
not
endorse
smoking,
as
he
hates
smoking.
Good
boy,
Vivek!
