Vikrant opens up about 12th Fail
Talking about 12th Fail, Vikrant said, “Validation from the industry has come in, and I was longing for it. I always backed myself and continue to do so, but it was very important for me, deep within me, I had this urge to be validated by more people and not just be labelled an alternate actor. 12th Fail’s commercial success was important to me. There are a lot more roles coming my way, and a lot many producers want to work with me now. I wanted that. I am happy, but I also know it’s all very temporary, and people change with time.”
Vikrant on success and failure
“My mechanism to deal with success and failure is the same. I don’t take either very seriously. Everything is so temporary in life. I have seen people change like the weather in success and failure. I move on very quickly and don’t sit with either for too long. The same things can change equally fast the moment you trip again and are back to where you began,” he added.
The 2023 biographical drama film is directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. It is based on the 2019 non-fiction book by Anurag Pathak about Manoj Kumar Sharma. The film also stars Medha Shankr, Anant V Joshi, Anshumaan Pushkar and Priyanshu Chatterjee.
