Vivek's Three Aces!

The 'Prince' is hoping to hit the Big Time, this year. After being directed by South genius Mani Ratnam in 'Yuva', Vivek Oberoi is grinning moonbeams at being lassoed in for Ratnam's next project. Besides,'Rakta Charitra', helmed by Ram Gopal Varma is being touted as the proverbial ace up Oberoi's sleeve. And presently, VO is likely to be in fine form with his Ratnam venture.

Incidentally, both ventures have been "inspired" by real life individuals. Oberoi Boy will soon scoot off to London to meet up with the Indian Punjabi Lord settled in Britain, and spend a good ten days with him to get a first hand feel of the person behind the persona.

Initially, Ratnam was to have helmed the project, though owing to his failing health during the filming of 'Raavan,' the director has opted out and Siva, Ratnam's assistant of over 12 years will craft the flick, with Shaad Ali ('Saathiya') on board as executive director.

Besides, his musical play 'Kingdom Of Dreams' is likely to gladden the hearts of his abiding fans too. Guess, Vivek's on a starry roll….
