It is said that Informer requires someone who has a macho look and carries a good screen presence. Earlier the role was offered to Sanjay Dutt but he too was occupied with work, so the makers approached Vivek Oberoi who agreed to do the role but later decided to do Krrish3.

Randeep who has done a descent job in recent hit ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’ replaced Vivek now.

Mahesh Bhatt told to a leading daily, “You have the correct information but beyond that I won’t be able to talk, as Fox Star will soon have a press conference.”

However, the most interesting part of this replacement is that Vivek and Hooda both have made their debut under Ram Gopal Verma. The former was launched in ‘Company’ while later made his debut with ‘D’ respectively and both films were based on the underworld.
