Vishal Mishra on casting Vivek Oberoi

The director of the film, Vishal, also spoke about casting Vivek in the film as the lead protagonist Prabhu Singh. He revealed on this saying that it was a no-brainer and that Vivek was his first choice for the movie. The filmmaker called the actor as a performer par excellence. He also said that Vivek has carved a niche for himself with films like Saathiya, Shootout At Lokhandwala and Company. The director added how he needed an exceptional actor for the character of Prabhu Singh as he is a pivotal part of Iti.
