Vivek out of Sanjay Guptas film signs Bejoy Nambiars David

 After keeping him hanging on forever Vivek Oberoi is out of Sanjay Gupta's Shootout At Wadala. Confirming this Gupta says, "Me and my co-producer Balaji Films just got tired of waiting for Vivek to make up his mind. What we didn't understand is why Vivek chose to give us the impression he loved the script and that he was on. Anyway, we already have a very strong alternative in mind. We'll make the announcement soon."

So the role of Dawood Ibrahim now lies vacant in Gupta's film. So far the actors on board are John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Tusshar Kapoor Ronit Roy and Shakti Kapoor's son Siddhanth who makes his debut.

In the meanwhile Vivek has gone and signed Shaitan director Bejoy Nambiar's David where he plays one of the protagonists. However, contrary to reports Vivek doesn't play a gangster in David.

Bejoy confirms this development in his film which already has Tamil star Vikram and Tabu in the cast.

Says Gupta, "I've the highest regard for Bejoy. In fact I loved his Shaitan and rooted for the film when I was part of an awards jury this year. I wish him well with Vivek."
