Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey earned rave reviews for his performance in 12th Fail, which not only became a box office hit but also won acclaim from both audiences and industry insiders. Recently Vikrant humbly acknowledged that if not for him, he believes Vicky Kaushal and Rajkummar Rao would have delivered stellar performances as well, referring to them as ‘phenomenal actors’.

In a recent interview with Filmygyan, Vikrant Massey was asked who else could have pulled off 12th Fail if not him. While co-stars Raashii Khanna and Riddhi Dogra insisted no one else could, Vikrant had a different view. He expressed his belief that Vicky Kaushal and Rajkummar Rao, both of whom he considers phenomenal actors, would have excelled in the role just as well.

The actor said, “I think Vicky (Vicky Kaushal), Raj (Rajkummar Rao), they are equally phenomenal. And I think if not me, I think Vicky would have done a phenomenal job and equally Raj also. I think they are both phenomenal actors.”

Vikrant is gearing up for his upcoming film The Sabarmati Report, which delves into the aftermath of Gujarat’s Godhra incident. The trailer, which recently dropped, showcases Massey as a journalist investigating the tragic events. During the trailer launch, he opened up about the threats he had received due to his role. 

The actor revealed that while the threats were ongoing, he and the entire team were managing the situation together. Vikrant emphasized that as artists, their job is to tell stories grounded in truth, and they would handle the challenges as they arise, ensuring the film’s message remains intact.

The Sabarmati Report, a gripping drama produced by Balaji Motion Pictures in collaboration with Vikir Films, stars Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khanna, Ridhi Dogra, and Barkha Singh in pivotal roles. 

Directed by Dheeraj Sarna, the film is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V. Mohan, and Anshul Mohan. Set to hit theaters on November 15, 2024, the film promises to be a compelling exploration of one of Gujarat’s most significant incidents.

In a recent talk, Jesse Eisenberg shared a memorable experience from his audition for Zombieland. Here, his co-star Emma Stone left a lasting impression on him. The actor revealed how Stone’s audition for the 2009 film made him feel “so, so small.” At the time, Eisenberg had already been cast in the role of Columbus, but he was auditioning alongside several actresses for the part of Wichita, which ultimately went to Stone. 

As reported by Deadline, Eisenberg recalled that while most of the actresses were polite and focused on landing the role, Stone took a different approach. She began to improvise during the audition, “assaulting” Eisenberg with quick-witted, cutting insults. This unexpected approach left Eisenberg in awe of her performance.
