Vivek Oberoi indirectly promotes Salman's Tubelight at Bank Chor event!

Mumbai: That 'Bank Chor' is a comedy piece, and stars Vivek Oberoi and Riteish Deshmukh in pivotal roles, is known to all.

Ever since the film's trailer has released, the makers have indulged in way too creative methods to remain in the limelight. From spoofing the posters of films like 'Begum Jaan', 'The Dark Knight,' 'Dangal,' 'Tubelight' and 'Life of Pi,' Riteish has done it all.

They raised the bar by releasing a song, which is actually an ode to the bum, 'Lag Gaye Tashreef.'

On Monday, the 'Bank Chor' makers hosted an event, where Riteish Deshmukh was set to get roasted by the journalists in all his capacity. The roast was too hard to handle, but Riteish sportingly took everything in his stride.

While beginning the roast session, and promoting the song 'Lag Gaye Tashreef,' Vivek called for his own battle.

At the event, Vivek said, "(Tashreef toh tab lag gaye the) I was roasted then itself when 14 years ago I'd called for a press conference. The ones who didn't get this line are 'Tubelights'.

He further added that, we did this roast session with Riteish because I'm anyway getting trolled for the past fourteen years.

Since Vivek is playing the character of a cop in 'Bank Chor', a journalist quizzed him asking do you like Tubelight's (referring to Salman Khan's cop act in the 'Dabangg' franchise) cop stint?

The actor immediately asserted, "Yes, I did like and will watch part 3 (Dabangg 3) also.

Well, in the past, Vivek has time and again fallen into trouble for his remarks against Salman Khan.

Co-star Riteish even took a dig at Vivek, saying, "He usually says the stuff, he shouldn't be saying and keeping a secret is far from his ability of doing it."

However, the event was about 'Bank Chor' untill the roast session with Riteish was on. The moment Vivek took the dias, everything revolved in and around 'Tubelight' with indirect hints.

'Bank Chor' is slated to release on June 16.
