Suresh Oberoi says he struggled to help his son Vivek Oberoi land his debut role in the film “Company.” He describes going door to door with pictures and pitching Vivek’s chances to industry contacts, including approaching filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma.
Vivek, in response, presents a different account of how he gets the part. He says he secured the role on his own merit, using his name “Vivek Anand,” and that he faces multiple rejections before RGV finally casts him. The outlets report that Vivek’s explanation emphasizes personal effort and perseverance rather than parental outreach.
After the debut, Vivek continues his career, with one source noting his next project is Nitesh Tiwari’s “Ramayana.” The coverage thus centers on a shared family discussion about the early break, with differences in emphasis on how the opportunity arises—through a father’s attempts or the actor’s own audition and rejection experience.
