Actor Vivek Oberoi says he is naturally more attracted to parts that have grey shades and darker sides.
Speaking about his upcoming Ram Gopal Varma's gangster thriller "Rai" the 39-year-old actor
"I have been unfair to the fans of 'Saathiya' who wanted to see me do more love stories but I kind of enjoy playing grey characters more," the 39-year-old actor said.
Vivek, who started his movie career with Varma's "Company" in 2002, said "Rai" is not an ordinary gangster.
"It is a journey of a man who started out as small clerk and a regular job going guy from there to become the don of Bengaluru, it is an exciting biopic about a guy who is actually alive."
Calling the experience thrilling, the actor said, "To study a man like that and his mannerism of what happened in his life, it is extremely exciting and it's more than a gangster film."
Vivek will next be seen in adult comedy "Great Grand Masti".
