Soon Vivek Oberoi will wear the dark shade in movie... After movies like 'Company', 'Rakta Charitra' and 'Omkara' among others, the actor will yet again do an intense film. While talks are that he will play a baddie in the upcoming sequel of 'Company', Vivek has bagged another movie which will be helmed by a newcomer.

Although the name of the new director has not been revealed, Vivek in an interview claimed that the film will be a biopic based on a UP's deadly contract killer, Virendra Pratap Shahi. Touted as a big-budget gangster drama, the film will be set in the '80s and '90s in North India. Hunt is on for the actors who will play Hari Shanker Tiwari - another top gangster and Sriprakash Shukla - who killed Shahi.

For the uninitiated, Virendra Pratap Shahi was a notorious gangster, who kickstarted his evil journey as a local goon in Gorakhpur and became infamous for killing nearly 50 people. He was shot dead by an aspiring gangster in 1997.
