Vivek Oberoi has been signed to play a major role in ‘Shootout At Wadala’. He is the latest memeber of the cast and joins John Abraham and Anil Kapoor. Apparently he is playing the character of Dawood Ibrahim, and for the first time the character will be called by the same name. Director Sanjay Gupta has examined the legal consequences of using the name Dawood in the film and is going ahead with it.
‘SAW’ is a real life portrayal of the first registered encounter by Mumbai police where gangster Manya Surve was shot dead by the Mumbai police. Gupta confirms, “Yes, we have signed Vivek in the film and he will playing the role of a budding gangster. He will be called Dawood in the film.” Wonder how Akshay Kumar, who is allegedly playing Dawood in ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2’, feels about this?
