Going onstage at the Big Apple was a first for the actor so that made up for missing the applause back home for his performance in producer Sanjay Gupta's film.
At the function, sporting an outfit designed by Punit Singh, Vivek put up a 15-minute dance sequence, choreographed by Pappu-Mallu, set to tracks from his films, including the forthcoming 'Fool And Final'.
'Shootout...' received good response across the country with an 85 per cent opening, the highest so far this year.
The crowd at the film's premiere cheered when the actor walked in. 'Shootout...' is the third film in which Vivek plays a gangster. With such results at the box-office the star sure won't mind more gun fights on screen.
