Speaking about it, he specified to a famous daily, "It was like a fatwa was issued against me from the powers that be."

A source close to Vivek had revealed to the daily, "To what extent Salman blacklisted him from the industry is a matter of conjecture. It’s easy to assume that he used his clout to ask people to exclude Vivek from projects. But then, Salman didn’t get along with Ranbir Kapoor and John Abraham either and they’ve both got work through the years."

Vivek spoke about how his personal life got messed up by telling, "When my personal life got messed up, I couldn’t keep my eye on the ball. Even if I gave a hit, work wouldn’t follow. Shootout at Lokhandwala became a huge hit, but I sat at home for a year after that."

Film Bank-Chor produced under the Y-Films banner [the youth wing of Yash Raj Films (YRF)] is the first feature movie in the world to release in 16D. The poster of the film starring Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Rhea Chakraborty is finally out. 

The film revolves around three friends who try to rob a bank and probably pick the worst day to do the job. It is set to release worldwide on June 16, 2017. 

In the poster, the trio are seen disguised as a Baba, an elephant and a horse in order to pursue their robbery mission.

Well, coming to the film, the movie has been designed with the next level of technology and immersive experiences where 16D helps activate all senses for a viewer in terms of touch, sight, hearing, smell, taste and also thought, imagination & feeling.

Scary, isn't it?

The film has been directed by Bumpy and produced by Ashish Patil.

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.
