Vikrant Massey Prays For National Award Glory For 12th Fail: ‘I Hope I Win'
Last Updated: After the anticipated success of 12th Fail, Vikrant Massey is diving into White, where he will take on the role of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Vikrant Massey has been on a roll, captivating audiences with his nuanced performances in critically acclaimed films like 12th Fail and The Sabarmati Report. With a string of hits under his belt, he's solidified his position as one of Bollywood's most talented actors. Now, he's taking a bold step into mainstream commercial cinema, promising to redefine his on-screen presence. His upcoming film is Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, helmed by director Santosh Singh. Now, in an interaction, Vikrant Massey expressed his aspirations for '12th Fail'. He said, 'I hope it does. And I'm sorry, without the cost of sounding pompous, and with utmost humility. I hope it does. I hope the film wins an award. I hope Vidhu Vinod Chopra wins an award. I hope I win an award. I've always aspired to have one. I've prayed for one." The actor recalled, 'When I was that young kid wanting to become an actor, I always wanted a National Award because that's the greatest achievement an actor in India can have—to be presented an award by the president of the country. And I hope it happens. So, fingers crossed." Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan will be followed by White, where Vikrant Massey will embody the spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, with early preparations underway. 'There's one film that I'm also soft-prepping for. It's called White, where I play the honourable Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar," he shared. Furthermore, Vikrant Massey shared his thoughts on playing Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. He added, 'I'm very nervous. I've been spending a lot of time with him and with the script. We start shooting in August. Spending time with him is also quite unnerving because he's something else—he's God-sent for me. This film, this opportunity, everything feels like it's God-sent." Later, the actor fondly recalled his experience of working with Shanaya Kapoor on Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, calling her a breath of fresh air. He elaborated, 'It was lovely working with Shanaya. She is a breath of fresh air. There's so much that I learned from her." However, taking on this project wasn't without its challenges for Massey, who confessed, 'I was very nervous because I've never done something like this, which is an outright commercial Bollywood Hindi movie wherein I'm lip-syncing for the first time. I was very nervous." Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, starring Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, hits theatres on July 11. First Published:

This vision found expression at the North-East Buddhist Cultural Festival in Kolkata. Held at the Alka Jalan Foundation Campus, the North-East Buddhist Cultural Festival brought to life the dreams, discipline, and deep-rooted culture of Buddhist youth from the Sino-border regions of Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, and other North-Eastern states.
