Vikrant Massey opened up about his roles in 'A Death in the Gunj' and '12th Fail,' and how they affected him.
Ever since we saw Vikrant Massey act in 'Lootera,' we all became aware of his talent and versatility as an actor. Now, his latest project '12th Fail,' only proved that his quality of work exceeds his reputation. The actor has been over the moon due to the success of the Vidhu Vinod Chopra-directorial.
Now, in an exclusive chat with ANI, the actor spoke about how his role in not only in '12th Fail,' but also in 'A Death in the Gunj,' emotionally impacted him. He went on to say that some characters leave a deep impact on you and it's difficult to let go of those characters.
“Some characters… you just want to tear them apart because they stay with you. What I did in 'A Death in the Gunj,' really stayed with me,” he shared and added, “That was the first time, after filming that film, I started taking therapy because I felt I needed to talk to someone. If you tell your parents about your worries, then they get worried so you really can’t share all these things with them. Because it was a very dark film, it pushed me to certain darker corners.”
He then shed light on his role in '12th Fail.' “Even with Manoj Kumar Sharma [his character's name], there were moments when Vinod sir would call a cut and I would continue weeping even after the cut is called because I just could not control myself,” he said.
Helmed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, '12th Fail,' has garnered immense praise. In a recent Instagram post, the actor called the director his "light at the end of the tunnel."
This small-budget film did wonders at the box office and grossed over Rs 70 crore worldwide.
