It can get very difficult for an actor to do a double role which is very different from each other. One moment you are the superstar RK and the next moment you are the ‘Dehaati’ KRK. But for Vivian this has been a not so difficult task till now. Let’s find out what is making Vivian’s life simple while he plays two contrasting characters.
Q. How difficult it is to perform two different characters which are in contrast with each other?

Q. How are the reactions from your fans and others over your double role?
It has been positive till now and I would like to thank everyone for liking me. I am working really hard and especially when you have to play two characters it can get a little too much. But overall it’s turning out to be a good experience.

Q.How easy or difficult it is to switch between the two roles?
Initially it was tough but then slowly it starts getting in to your system and then you become used to it. Like I said, the dialect is usually the toughest part but since I am also from
