There have already been a lot of rumors about the cast of this role right from Ajay Devgan to Shah Rukh Khan and even Rana Daggubati, but Vivek Oberoi has finally bagged the role.
As for the direction part, since Rakesh Roshan has not directed a single film in the last five years, he wanted to have an outside director and had even approached Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra to direct the film. At last, he decided to take the reins of direction in his hands. For the negative role, he wanted someone ultra-cool, stylish with gray shades. The villain in the film is witty, smart, edgy and somewhat evil- like the joker in the Batman series, and Vivek fits in the requirements perfectly. The film is scheduled to go on the floors in October this year and Vivek is yet to sign on the dotted lines.
