Vivek perfects NY accent for Kurbaan
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,November 14 2009]
While the icing of the cake is being hogged by the lead pair of ÂKurbaan at the moment, there is one person who is waiting silently for his share. The promos of the movie show Vivek Oberoi in blink-and-miss scenes, but the actor seem to have no qualms about it.
One may wonder as to why the actor is being ignored in this over-hyped movie. However, director Rensil DÂSilva has got reasons to justify it. He revealed that Vivek is one of the central characters and covers 80 percent of the film. Consequently, almost every scene of his is a dead giveaway of the suspense. When the director explained the situation to Vivek, the actor didnÂt make a fuss of it. ÂHe was cool with not being featured in the promos that much. He said to do whatever is right for the film because when the film opens the truth about the extent of his role would be out, stated DÂSilva.
The filmmaker is quite impressed with VivekÂs hard work for the movie. DÂSilva said how the actor went on to acquire a true New YorkerÂs accent. Said DÂSilva: ÂWe had a couple of New Yorkers on the sets to coach him. HeÂs got the NY accent bang-on. ItÂs not a borough-specific accent. ItÂs a general New York twang. And Vivek is superb with it.Â
