According to another report published recently on a website, Vicky apparently plays the role of a Paresh Ghelani. As per the report, Paresh is based out of Los Angeles and was instrumental in getting Sanjay out of jail when he was convicted under Arms Act in relation with the 1993 Mumbai bomb blast case. Paresh’s family live in Chicago and he is an entrepreneur who has investments in several companies. 

In the film, Paresh has been shown as Sanjay’s pillar of strength during tough times. He was instrumental in getting the actor out of his drug addiction. His relationship with Sanjay strained after the US administration started probing his links to the terror activities Sanjay was allegedly linked with.

Meanwhile, there are other actors too in the film, including Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, Manisha Koirala, Dia Mirza and Paresh Rawal. 

The film is on its way to breaking all records at the box office with its massive weekend collection.
