Vikrant Massey on Choosing Stories That Move Him
Known for his nuanced performances in films like 12th Fail, Haseen Dillruba, and Gaslight, Vikrant Massey has built a reputation for selecting roles that challenge him as an actor. In an earlier interview, he shared his process for picking scripts, saying, “There are quite a lot of things actually. There are so many permutations and combinations that go behind choosing a role. But at the core of it lies the question - what does that story evoke within me? I always insist on reading the script myself. If it’s supposed to make me laugh, does it? If it’s supposed to make me cry, does it? That’s how I decide if it’s a story I want to tell.” Massey’s thoughtful approach to storytelling makes Musafir Café an exciting addition to his diverse filmography. ‘Dostana 2’: Vikrant Massey CONFIRMS Replacing Kartik Aryan in Karan Johar’s Much-Awaited Sequel, THIS ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’ Star Joins As the Other Lead!
