To achieve his finesse in 'art of gambling' for 'Krrish 2', Vivek Oberoi is now in the process of learning quite a few tricks that would help him prepare for the role and look convincing on screen. Other than mastering the art of gambling, he is also delving deeper down into his character which is that of Hrithik Roshan's primary nemesis.
"Vivek would also be seen enhancing his skills as a gambler," informs a source, "In fact he is into multiple sittings with professional artists who are teaching him quite few of their tricks, most of them being centred on shuffling and getting right cards out at the right time. 'Joker' is the key card here though, reason being that super powers of his character lie in a particular pack of cards with 'Joker' being the most powerful of them all."
One wonders though to what extent would Vivek go in order to get into the right characterisation and mood.
"Yeah, there is a joke in his household that if he isn't found in the house or on the sets anymore, he could be located at an upmarket gambling den," a close friend jokes.
Guess the film is making Vivek Oberoi do things that he has never done before. With Rakesh Roshan as the director and Priyanka Chopra as the leading lady with Jacqueline Fernandez playing the role of a mutant, 'Krrish 2' is expected to arrive in late 2012.
