Vivek Oberoi, who had made his debut as an actor with Ram
Gopal Varma's Company, in which he had played a courageous gangster named
Chandu Nagre, will work in Varma's next movie Rai, which is based on the life
of former don Muthappa Rai and Vivek is quite thrilled about essaying this role
in the movie.
Talking about his forthcoming movie, Vivek told, "In my
entire life both as an actor and a film watcher, I have yet to come across any
character anywhere near to the character of Rai, it's like a dream come true
for me to take the challenge of portraying the complex nuances of Rai's
character. I thank RGV for giving me the opportunity to bring on to screen the
greatest gangster ever! Called a criminal by some and a messiah by many, he is
the ultimate symbol of justice! Feared, loved and respected he has become a
legend in his own life time and he is on the way to become something much more
greater than a legend."
On his part, Ram Gopal Varma told, "Any filmmaker is
only as good as the subject matter he gets, With RAI I think I have the best
subject matter I ever found in my entire career. In fact it's so good that I
will have to work hard to spoil it. Mr. Muthappa Rai has renounced his earlier
life of violence and now became a peaceful philanthropist working only for the
welfare of the people, but my request to him is that if I spoil such a great
story as Rai he should go back into violence and kill me. Rai for me is the
story of an extraordinary man who lived, struggled and triumphed among
extraordinary circumstances; it's the story of an ultimate real life
hero."
Ram Gopal Varma's next film is Veerappan, which is slated to
release on May 27.
