Actor Vivek Oberoi says Bollywood is a dynamic industry and has enough work for everyone.
"With so many people around (referring to actors) it is not difficult to get exciting work. It's a dynamic industry, there are amazing roles for everyone.
"Like Riteish Deshmukh is known for comic roles but he was approached to play a villain and he was brilliant in 'Ek Villain'. There is enough work for everybody," Vivek told PTI.
The 39-year-old "Saathiya" star feels, despite the competition, actors should appreciate each other's work.
"We should celebrate and praise work of each other as it's good for our industry. We should appreciate and be happy for the good work of others," he added.
Vivek's latest film is "Great Grand Masti," that opened in theaters today. The actor said they have tried to bring back the essence of "Masti" which was the first part in the franchise.
"I told Indra Kumar, the director of 'Great Grand Masti' that I would have preferred to retain the spirit of 'Masti'. It was a conscious decision to bring the third part closer to first one so we brought this element of ghost.
"The three guys who were behind this girl try to run away when they learn she is a ghost. Its all situational humor," he said.
The film also stars Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani and Urvashi Rautela among others.
