'Shootout At Lokhandwala' is one of the most iconic gangster drama of Bollywood. The film has achieved a cult status over years. Vivek Oberoi garned praises from critics and fans alike for his performance but for himself, the film was nothing short of a fanboy dream. Vivek got work and share screen with his childhood star Sanjay Dutt. On the 14th anniversary of the film, Vivek recalled what it was like for him to work alongside the legend.

He said, "The very first day I ever shot with the legendary Sanjay Dutt was a clash between our characters - the encounter cop and the gangster Maya bhai. I was, of course, super nervous. I mean 'baba bhai' as we fondly refer to him, was a childhood icon for me! He was larger than life."

Recalling a incident from his childhood, Vivek shared, "It took me down memory lane, to the days when I was studying in boarding school at the prestigious Mayo College in Ajmer. My father was shooting close by in Jaipur and decided to surprise me by visiting me in school. It was an amazing surprise to see dad but what left me shell-shocked was seeing the long-haired Sanjay Dutt pop out of the car. He was shooting with dad and decided to come along to say ‘hi’. Even back then, he was the most charming dude ever. I remember my mauka pe chauka moment, I requested baba bhai if he would come with me for ten minutes to see the Mayo girl’s school right across the road. It was epic!"
