Vivek Oberoi, the 'Krrish 3' baddie, has been called in by KRK's production for a biopic on the underworld don Abu Salem. Salem's character as per reports would be played by Vivek.

A source close to the development revealed that Vivek has read the script and has liked it too.

The source confirmed the news -  "He received the script a few days ago, and read it in one go itself. He's loved the way Salem's character has been etched and is likely to give a nod to the film."

Reportedly, KRK has also asked director Sudhir Mishra to direct the flick.

Asked about it, KRK commented - "It's too early to comment, I haven't signed Vivek yet, but I've sent him the script to which he replied saying he's liked it very much. I hope things fall into place. I've spoken to Sudhir Mishra and he's likely to respond in a week's time. By the end of the month, we will make an official announcement."
