Vivek Oberoi discusses how setbacks around his debut film “Company” influenced his early living situation. He says that after initial rejection, he does not return home and instead moves into a small rented room (“kholi”) in a Mumbai slum area for about three weeks while continuing his efforts.

In his account, Oberoi frames the decision around persistence and practical commitment—paying rent and staying near his work rather than going back to his previous arrangements. The reporting focuses on how the experience reflects the challenges he faced during the period leading up to the project’s development and release, with the emphasis on a specific, difficult timeframe rather than broader production details.
