Vivek Oberoi is making his Tamil film debut with Vivegam and director Siva says the actor is the perfect choice as he is a powerful and intense performer. Oberoi plays the antagonist in the thriller, which stars Ajith Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal and Akshara Haasan.

"When I conceived the character, I wanted an intense actor to essay the role. From the production side, they suggested Vivek Oberoi since he knows Tamil," Siva said.

The director said Oberoi's faith in the script made him feel confident about the movie. "He agreed to do the film within 15 minutes of the narration. As a writer, I felt it was a big success that I convinced an actor so soon."
