Vivek Not intrested in promoting Mission Istaanbul

Vivek Oberoi is apparently not taking much interest in promoting his film Mission Istanbul .

Even though it is Vivek who is the most popular star in the film, Zayed Khan has been given much importance on the film’s posters and promos, much to the chagrin of Vivek who obviously feels sidelined by a star with less success rate than him.

Producer Sunil Shetty and director Apoorva Lakhia even tried to placate Vivek by shooting a special song on him and using it to promote the film.

But Vivek still seems to feel his role in the film has come heavily under editor’s scissors. He plays a Turkish commando who helps an India-born journalist (Zayed Khan) fight the terrorists in Istanbul.

Vivek made his displeasure apparent by playing truant at the press conference of the film held on Saturday in Mumbai. It really shocked Sunil and Apoorva because they had set the date of the conference depending on Vivek’s convenience since he is presently shooting a film in South Africa.

Producer Sunil Shetty does not mince his words while expressing his displeasure over Vivek’s absence. Sunil says Vivek has “certain issues and problems.”

Ironically, Vivek has recently been claiming in his interviews that he has been changing his ways and reaching out to people.

Don’t know what good would missing the promotion of his own film would do to his career or to his relation with Apoorva, who revived the actor’s sagging career with Shootout At Lokhandwala .
