Vivek Oberoi says that his next film has been titled 'Powerplay' and will talk about the Indian Premier League (IPL) and all that's involved with the game.

"We are shooting currently for a very exciting project produced by Excel Entertainment. It is called 'Powerplay' and is based on IPL. The story takes its inspiration from IPL and will talk about the behind-the-scenes in terms of scandals, rackets and many things," Vivek told IANS in an interaction.

According to media reports, Vivek will play a character based on Lalit Modi, the first Chairman and Commissioner of the Indian Premier League (IPL), in a 12-part web series.

On the big screen, he will be seen in Yash Raj Films' 'Bank Chor'.

"I have just finished with film and I am really excited for that. It will come out next year in March," said Vivek.

Also, he said his "lips are sealed" when probed if he is going to be a part of the recently announced 'Krrish 4' as he was a part of "Krrish 3".

He is also turning producer at the end of this year with Ram Gopal Varma's 'Company 2'.
