When
Vivek
Oberoi
made
his
acting
debut
in
the
Hndi
film
industry
with
Ram
Gopal
Varma's
gangster
film
Company
in
2002,
the
actor
won
rave
reviews
for
his
impressive
performance.
But
do
you
folks
know
that
the
actor
was
originally
supposed
to
be
launched
in
an
Abbas-Mustan
film?
However,
Vivek
walked
out
of
that
film
which
he
had
bagged
courtesy
of
his
father,
veteran
actor
Suresh
Oberoi,
as
he
wanted
to
get
a
film
on
his
own
merit.
The
Saathiya
star
made
this
revelation
in
his
latest
interview
with
a
leading
tabloid.
Vivek
revealed
that
he
was
to
make
his
Bollywood
debut
with
an
Abbas-Mustan.
However,
in
the
midst
of
the
set-up,
he
had
this
crisis
of
conscience
which
made
him
exit
the
project.
ETimes
quoted
Vivek
as
saying,
"Now,
nepotism
is
a
big
word,
but
back
in
the
day,
it
was
very
normal
for
every
film
guy
of
the
second
or
third
generation
to
be
launched
by
his
dad
and
for
me
also,
it
was
the
same.
Son
has
returned
from
New
York,
let's
launch
him--there
was
this
whole
setup
with
Abbas-Mustan.
It
was
all
going
solid
but
in
the
middle
of
that,
I
had
this
crisis
of
conscience.
My
dad
is
my
idol
and
he
came
in
and
made
it
purely
on
merit,
no
last
name,
nobody
writing
any
kind
of
letters
for
him.
He
just
auditioned
and
made
it."
He
continued,
"And
the
thought
I
had
was
that
if
something
goes
wrong
with
this
film,
my
dad's
life
savings
were
on
the
line.
And
I'd
seen
a
lot
of
people
doing
the
same
thing
and
going
bust.
So
for
me,
it
was
very
scary.
And
I
just
had
these
sleepless
nights
and
I
went
to
my
dad
and
said,
'I
can't
do
the
film,
I'll
struggle
like
you',
and
he
said,
'but
I
built
a
platform,
so
you
don't
have
to
struggle!'
A
few
weeks
later,
I
met
Abbas-Mustan,
apologised
to
them
saying
I
will
not
be
doing
their
film."
Post
walking
out
of
Abbas-Mustan's
film,
Vivek
Oberoi
bagged
Ram
Gopal
Varma's
Company
after
a
year
of
struggle
and
numerous
auditions,
and
the
rest
is
history!
