Actor Vikrant Massey is currently basking in the success of his latest release ‘12th Fail.’ In a recent interaction on the movie completing 100 days at the box office, Vikrant reveals how director Vidhu Vinod Chopra told him he is still relatively unknown in the industry despite working for a decade.
Vikrant shared, “I truly believe that 12th Fail was a restart moment of my career. I would be honest when sir (Vidhu Vinod Chopra) approached me to play the role of Manoj, he told me, ‘Tujhe koi nahin janta... bahut saare log tujhe nahin jante iske bawajood tu kaam kar raha hai itne salo se (Nobody knows you… a lot of people do not know you even then you have been working in the industry for so many years)’.”
He added, “So yes, it was a restart moment for me to work with such a great director, and that too on a big story. I had to go back and unlearn so many things. I learnt so much by working in 12th Fail. I was with sir for 2.5 years on the sets of the 12th Fail. He made me learn so much. Every day you wake up, there is a restart moment.”
Vikrant and Vidhu, co-star Medha Shankar and the ‘12th Fail’ team celebrated 100 days of the movie running in cinemas.
‘12th Fail’ revolves around UPSC aspirants and is based on real-life experiences. Based on a novel by Anurag Pathak talks about the struggles of millions of students who attempt the UPSC entrance exam.
