Vivek Oberoi finally seems to be loosening up. He has one comedy Home Delivery ready for release, while another Pyare Mohan has just been completed in Bangkok.

Vivek is a part of a third comedy Deewane Huey Pagal in a most unexpected way. He plays the sutradhar in the film which opens next week, and also sings a whole number composed by Anu Malik!

The long narrative song was originally sung by Anu Malik. The producers decided it would be far more attractive if Vivek did the needful.

"I enjoyed the whole experience," says Vivek.

"I'm not really a singer. I did it mainly because the producer Sajid Nadiadwala is like family. His family and mine go back a long way. My dad (Suresh Oberoi) has done a lot of films with the Nadiadwalas. And if all goes well I'd soon be doing a full film with Sajid. In the meanwhile there's the narrator and the song that I've done in Deewane Huey Paagal."

Incidentally Vivek's sister has tried her hand at singing in Indra Kumar's Masti. Now it's the brother's turn.
