Vivek Oberoi On The Dull Phase In His Career: “People Had Written Me Off Often”

Vivek Oberoi may have had a dull phase for a very long time in with regards to his film career! But things soon began to change after he took the plunge for the digital route with Amazon Prime’s Inside Edge, at a time when the OTT boom had not even closely hit the nation. While Vivek said that many people thought he had lost the plot and was making bad choices by taking up a “serial”.

But now, with the boom of digital content and actors constantly being on a lookout for good web shows, Vivek Oberoi surely is enjoying the validation that his character of mastermind Vikrant Dhawan in Inside Edge has bought him.

Speaking about the same to Mid-Day, the Saathiya actor has been quoted saying, “People felt I had lost the plot. They weren’t aware [of the potential of] OTT content and wondered why I was doing a serial. Also, with the show, we were swimming against the tide as everyone in this country loves cricket and we were showing the murky side of the game. So it was a tough call.”
