Excerpt From Vivek's Interview!
Your first film releasing this year is Kurbaan. What was it about Kurbaan that drew you to it?
I'm very good friends with Karan and we have a comfortable relationship. So I walked into his office thinking it's going to be this love story between Saif and Kareena, I didn't know what kind of role he was going to offer me. It's Karan who's always been so sweet to me and so I told him straight away 'I don't want to do just any role, I want to do a role with some meat in it'. He started laughing and said to just read the script. So I said ok and read it immediately'I couldn't believe it! I read it twice over and said 'Why me man?' and he said 'So now you think it's too good?' I said no I was just so touched and amazed that he chose me and he said that he's always believed that I'm a fine actor and that this would be the chance to show the world exactly what I'm made of. I was so touched by that belief that he had in me and that was it, I promised him I'd make him proud.
There are people drawing similarities between Kurbaan and New York, what do you have to say to that?
It's chalk and cheese. I truly believe that my director Rensil D'Silva is absolutely brilliant and I believe he is the next Mani Ratnam.
