Vivek, when asked about his opinion on the current debate over ‘absurd’ entourage cost of actors stated that, “I have never done it. I am very simple man. I hear such reports. At my house, whatever cars I love, I own them. But, when I go to a shoot, I ask them (producers), ‘What’s convenient for you?’ If it’s Innova, it works for me. As long as it’s comfortable and gets me from my hotel to the set, I will come and shoot. When I will want to drive a car, I will buy it with my own money and enjoy. I think it adds unnecessary cost to cinema.” However, he pointed out, it’s an exception “when you are expected to look a certain way, especially for girls, then its worth it.”

Vivek made his acting debut with Ram Gopal Varma's Company. He later acted in movies like Saathiya, Yuva, Masti, Kaal, Omkara, Shootout at Lokhandwala, Kurbaan, Rakta Charitra I, Rakta Charitra II, Krrish 3, Vivegam, PM Narendra Modi, Lucifer and Khudiram Bose. Vivek was also seen in Rohit Shetty's debut web series - Indian Police Force.
