Vivek Oberoi is turning romantic again. He has recently signed an out and out love story where he would be playing the lead protagonist. The film is special for him since it would be almost a decade after Saathiya (2002) that he would be seen serenading his lady love.
"It is a beautiful and meaningful love story that Vivek has just signed", informs a close associate of the actor, "After an intense Rakht Charitra and action oriented Prince, he wanted to dabble in different genres. This film is a step in that direction. It will be going on floors later this year. Vivek is waiting for a formal announcement from the makers before he starts talking about it."
Incidentally, Vivek has hardly done any love stories in his entire career. Starting off with dramatic outings like Company andDum, he did see huge success coming his way in Saathiya. At that time he was considered to be one of the most versatile actors around and while one expected him to do more love stories, he delved deeper into action dramas.
"Vivek was just not getting the right films", continues the associate, "When a film like Kyun! Ho Gaya Na with some elements of romance didn't work, he moved on films like Yuva, Kaal, Omkara and Shootout At Lonkhandwala that kept his Bollywood flag flying high. However, his heart continued to pine for a romantic musical and when he was narrated the story of this new film, he immediately agreed."
Expectedly, Vivek expressed his inability to disclose many details since he was contractually bound. However, he admitted that this new film boasts of a 'sweet and gentle' love story.
"This is one film that connects at a human level", says a much married Vivek Oberoi who is happy to be find stability coming his way both at personal as well as professional front, "This love story would take me into a completely different world when compared to action dramas like Krrish 2 and Zila Ghaziabad. This is a great script that I have got my hands on and I am really excited about it. Ever since Saathiya I was dying to do a love story. Now I can stand up and say that the decade long wait was worth it after all.

Salman is number one:Aamir Khan
"
In Bollywood, every actor tries his best to reach the top of the ladder and become number one, but according to Aamir Khan, who himself is credited with blockbuster hits like Ghajini and 3 Idiots, Salman Khan is presently the number one box office star."
According to me Salman is ahead of me.
In the manner in which his film Bodyguard has got an opening, it has broken all records and today according to me, if there is anyone who is the number one box office star, then that is Salman," said Aamir.
"He has proved with this film that he is ahead of all of us. I am very happy that his film is doing well. My good wishes are with him," Aamir told reporters here at the music launch of the film Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster," he added.
"Few days back I even had a chat with him on phone because he is in America. I'm glad that his health is also much better now. Infact I was the one who gave him the good news of the massive opening box collections of Bodyguard," said Aamir.
"I had texted his sister Alvira and I had told her that when Salman comes out of his surgery then show him my text first. I wanted to be the first one to give him this great news," he added.
When asked from the 46-year-old actor that since he shares such a great camaraderie with Salman, would he like to work with him again in a film, Aamir responded with a yes.
"I would love to work with Salman. We have a great tuning so if we work together, it will be great fun. But till the time we don't get a good script, a script that excites both of us, we can't work together," said Aamir, who has shared screen space with Salman in the past in the film Andaz Apna Apna.
Salman to work in ‘Dookudu’ remake?
When Diwali is around the corner it’s obvious to have Bollywood`s big projects waiting to hit the theatres. But one film from the South industry is already creating a buzz in India and abroad. Actor Mahesh Babu`s Telugu film ‘Dookudu’ has already been declared as a smash hit in its first week itself.
Apparently looking at its success, the Salman Khan camp is already eyeing the idea of its remake in Hindi soon.
‘Dookudu’ has minted a whooping Rs. 30 crore so far. It has banked a tremendous sum of 82,000 dollars at a multiplex in Virginia, the only film to surpass its collections is Brad Pitt’s ‘Moneyball’.
As reported by a daily, Kona Venkat, who worked on ‘Ready’ in Telugu and Hindi, and is also associated with Anees Bazmee`s ‘No Entry’ sequel and Sohail Khan`s ‘Sher Khan’, confirms the same. "Sreenu, who directed ‘Ready’ in Telugu, is keen to remake Dookudu in Hindi with Salmanbhai.
In fact, the lead character`s heroism suits Salman bhai perfectly. We won`t need to make alterations for the Hindi version," he said.
He added that their entire team was aware that the ‘Dabangg’ star would do the remake.
"Even Mahesh Babu said that Salman bhai would be the best actor for the Hindi version," he further revealed.
Though the Telugu version of ‘Dookudu’ cost filmmakers a total of 35 crores to make, the estimated budget for the hindi version of the film with the ‘Bodyguard’ star has been pegged at 60 crores.
However the problem is that the lead protagonist in the Telugu film is a cop and Salman is not keen on another cop role at the moment.
"Salman bhai isn`t keen on another policeman role before the Dabangg sequel," explained Venkat.
He said he is waiting for the actor, currently in Mumbai, to take a call after watching ‘Dookudu’. He further states that if the producer and director decide to wait till ‘Dabangg 2’ is ready, then there should be no reason for Salman to decline the movie.
Ever since Mahesh Babu`s film released, Bollywood producers and actors are vying for the remake rights, which is believed to be over Rs 3 crore. But till Salman makes up his mind, everything on the remake has been put on hold.
Ranbir Kapoor starrer much awaited Bollywood film ‘Rockstar’ has rocked in Pakistan also. A huge crowd of fans watched the first show of the film in Pakistani cinemas.
