Vivek plays sutradhar

Vivek Oberoi will appear as a 'sutradhar', or narrator, in "Deewane Huye Paagal".

Replete with graphic elements, the sutradhar sequences will see Vivek in a cowboy look inspired by Hollywood flick "Crocodile Dundee". Vivek has even recorded a rap song under Anu Malik's guidance to introduce the characters at different stages of the plot, reports Bollywood Trade.

It was Akshay Kumar who suggested Vivek's name for the role in the comic caper.

Firoz Nadiadwala, producer of the film, says: "The children and families will love Vivek's brief appearance as he introduces the characters."

Vivek is excited and says: "It's a very entertaining, innovative and unusual approach to introducing the characters and so I jumped at the idea. Moreover Firoz bhai is like family, so I can't say no to him!"

Directed by Vikram Bhatt, "Deewane Huye Paagal" is a complete laugh riot. The film is releasing Nov 25
