/> Viviek Oberoi has not been reading the unflattering stories about himself. "I prefer to read books, " he laughs on his one-day visit to India---Mumbai-Pune-Delhi, to be more precise.

Viviek landed on Wednesday evening, rushed to Pune for a personal visit, rished back to Mumbai on Thursday and flew to Delhi for the premiere of Mission Istanbul, thereby putting an end to all speculative stories about dissociating himself from the film.

Says Viviek, "I requested Tips to let me off just one day. Just for the Delhi premiere. Then I'm flying back to the join the unit. I'm really excited because I'lll be seeing the complete film for the first time. Apu has shown me parts of the film. I've heard such great things about the film and my work."

Viviek is currently shooting a hush-hush project with Kumar Taaurani of Tips. It features Viviek with Sanjay Kapoor (Boney and Anil's sibling) and Viviek has three leading ladies opposite him."

But Viviek isn't allowed to talk about it. " Mr Kumar Taurani of Tips has been treating me really well. I'm shooting for his film in South Africa. It's an action thriller directed by a guy called Kuki Gulati who's actually fantastic video director doing his his first feature film. I love the script. Beyond that I'm not allowed to say anything about the film."

But wasn't Viviek supposed to be in Mumbai for the Mission Istanbul press conference?

"Yes, I couldn't make it on the 19th. I was shooting in South Africa. You see Mission Istanbul was supposed to be released two weeks earlier. I was going all-out promoting it for two months.

I kept myself completely free for the promotions till the 11th. But when the film got postponed to July 28 I had no option but to join my unit in South Africa. I'm really excited by my character in Mission Istanbul."

Viviek has completely changed his look and hair for the Tips film. "Since I've to keep my look under wraps I've to wear a cap all the time. I joked with my producer Kumar Taurani. 'Normally actor producer ko topi pehnate hai. This time it's the other way around.'

The last 24 hours was hectic for the actor.

"I'm so tired, " Viveik said on Wednesday night. "I've flown 23 hours. I've become the jet-setting guy."
