Young actor Vivek Oberoi is still paying for his tiff with macho star Salman Khan some years ago. After his confrontation with Salman, Vivek's career has been on the downslide. He does not have any big films in hand and top actresses do not want to be paired with him.
Bollywood sources say that actresses are refusing roles opposite Vivek for fear of getting on the wrong side of Salman.
Apparently realising his faux pas, Vivek has been trying to make peace with Salman but the latter has not reciprocated to his feelers.
Quite recently, Govinda refused to work in Ram Rahim or Romeo starring Vivek and Fardeen Khan
Industrywallahs say that Govinda and Salman have become thick friends and that could be the reason for the dancing star giving the royal snub to Vivek.
"In fact it was Vivek who suggested Govinda's name for the role," said a source, "The producers then asked Vivek to talk to him."
When Vivek met Govinda, the actorpolitician was in a fix. He said a diplomatic yes and agreed to meet the producers. But when the producers went to meet the star, he sought an astronomical sum which stumped them.
"Govinda knew that he would not get such a big sum and was obviously trying to wriggle out of the project," said the source. "The producers then approached Javed Jaffrey who agreed to do the role."
