Vivek Anand Oberoi, who was last seen in Bank Chor is all set for his Kannada debut. It seems like the actor is obsessed with playing a cop in his films. After giving us numerous cop characters, the Saathiya actor again turns cop for his Kannada debut, Rustum.
While the actor has managed to pull off grey characters like gangster Mayabhai in Shootout At Lokhandwala (2007), gangster-turned-politician Pratap Ravi in Rakhta Charitra (2010) or the evil Kaal in Krrish 3 (2013), Vivek is excited to be a law-enforcer once again.
Vivek ventured the Tamil industry with Vivegam, where he played a supporting character.
Mumbai Mirror reports a source close to Oberoi revealing that "Vivek recently kicked off prep on his Kannada debut, which is produced by Jayanna, alongside Shiva Rajkumar, who plays the lead. The gangster film is Shiva's most lavishly-mounted project to date."
