He was a do-gooder of sorts,” he says.Vivek’s co-star Sanjay Dutt essays the character of Thakur Pritam Singh, a zamindar-turned-cop who was famous as the badshah of Bulandshah, while Arshad Warsi’s role is modeled around the real-life outlaw, Mahender Fauji. The duo has already started shooting for the film in Wai, but Vivek will only join the cast this week.He says, “I took a delayed honeymoon break with Priyanka as I have been shooting back to back after we got married.
