Vivek Oberoi plays a villain in 'Krissh 2'

Actor Vivek Oberoi will star alongside Hrithik Roshan for the first time in Krrish 2.

While Roshan will be taking on the superhero role, Saathiya actor Oberoi said that he plans to be the best villain ever.

"It is fun to be playing Raavan against a Ram," Oberoi told The Hindustan Times. "Krrish is a brand and to be a part of this legacy is no less an honour. I am indeed treating this as a film which would bring out the Gabbar in me. I am aspiring to be the best baddie ever.

"Hrithik has been a good friend over the years and it is fabulous to finally work with him. It took almost a decade, but it's finally happening."

Oberoi's character is reportedly inspired by Patrick Stewart's Professor Charles Xavier in X-Men, who also flies his own customised aircraft.

Oberoi has been taking flying lessons so that he can perform the dramatic aerial stunts in Krrish 2.
