Vivek Oberoi and his career are heading south!

Vivek Oberoi’s career headed south a long time ago, and now he is heading in the same direction too. He will appear next in a Kannada movie Sihi Muthu (meaning ‘Sweet Kiss’) directed by Ashok Kashyap. And guess what? Vivek’s Kannada debut will be as an item boy with a (hopefully) sizzling number that will cost Mr Kashyap a cool Rs 40 lakh.

We wish Mr Kashyap well, especially, after we learned that Vivek was not his first choice, either. He tried to rope in Bollywood majors such as Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, etc., but as that didn’t work, he had to settle for the only-too-eager Vivek.

Vivek better take this seriously and not disappoint Sandalwood. Who knows, he might soon be a much-sought after hottie down South, cashing in on the glamour trickle-down effect. There’s little left for him in Bollywood anyway. Seems as if his best days are behind him now.
