Actor Vivek Oberoi (top) believes in doing things differentl­y and that’s why, when most actors take inspiratio­n from internatio­nal artists and trends, he decided to follow his father Suresh Oberoi’s (above) footsteps.

The 40-year-old, who will play the role of a cop in his next film, will sport a thick moustache in it. For his character, Vivek wanted to look tough and realised that his father’s dispositio­n from his yesteryear films would be perfect. “My father has played the role of a police officer in several films. I was inspired by his towering personalit­y, his rich baritone, and the execution of these roles. Since I play a cop in my next, watching few of his films helped,” says Vivek.

According to a source, Vivek discussed this idea with his father, who was surprised to know that his casual look had inspired him so much that Vivek decided to emulate his style.
