Vivek Oberoi to play a bookie in Karan Anshuman’s web series ‘Khel’

Having played several memorable characters on screen, Vivek Oberoi is all set to surprise the audience and his fans once again as he will be seen portraying a bookie in his forthcoming web series, titled Khel.

Directed by critic-turned-filmmaker Karan Anshuman and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment, Khel is set to go on floors in August this year. The series will be shot in Mumbai over a month-long schedule.

According to sources, Vivek’s character belongs to a poor family who gets into the betting racket that makes him rich and he goes on to become a team owner.

While cricket is the backdrop, the story deals with relationships and how they change with each game and power play.

Besides Vivek, the web series also stars Richa Chadha, Gulshan Devaiah and Angad Bedi.
