Actor Vivek Oberoi will join the cast of Yash Raj Films' `Bank Chor`, marking his comeback to the banner after 12 years.

His last film for the banner was the 2002 hit `Saathiya`.

The actor, who recently played a villain in `Krrish 3`, will essay the role of a CBI officer who turns the bank robbers lives upside down in the film, which also stars Rhea Chakraborty and Riteish Deshmukh.

`I'm really happy to be back in the Yash Raj family again... Working with my buddy Riteish is always a pleasure, hope we bring our crazy chemistry to this one too! Here's hoping our entire team of 'Bank Chor' steals a million hearts!` Vivek said in a statement.

Vivek and Riteish had teamed up for the hit adult comedies `Grand Masti` and `Masti`.


Ashish Patil, business and creative head, Youth Films, Brand Partnerships and Talent Management at Yash Raj Films, believes that Vivek will `set the screen on fire`.

`Bank Chor` will soon go on the floors and is planned for an early 2015 release.
