Did you know that acting newbie Vivek Sudarshan who's got a great break in Rahat Kazmi’s Impatient Vivek was the youngest scientist in India? Hailing from Barrelly, Vivek seems to have found his real calling in Bollywood. “Being from a small town, I never - in my wildest dreams - thought I'd land in the film industry. But as luck would have it, Mr Kazmi came to Delhi
where I got the opportunity to meet him. I'd gone up to him
and expressed my desire to sing. He asked me to send him an Audio CD thanks to which I soon got a call from him for a music album. That was my ticket to the glamour world,” he says.
Post the success of the album – I Vivek, Kazmi gave the Barelly boy
a chance to showcase his acting chops and the rest as they say is history.
"Rahat is a brilliant director so acting under him was a blessing,” says Vivek.
So first scientist, then singer and now actor, where do we see Vivek going next? “Oh, it’s acting and acting alone for now. I love being in front of the camera. I have been a part of many social causes so I’d love to do meaningful cinema that can help me reach out to the
masses and convey social messages,” says Vivek.
