Addressing the audience present at the festival, Vikrant Massey spoke at length about the film and about playing Prem Singh. He said, “Talking about the preparation without giving away much, this was one of the few films that pushed me against the wall, it was very challenging. Although I did not have to transform physically but mentally and emotionally this film really pushed me against the wall.”

Talking about the narrative and the need to tell stories like Sector 36 he said, “There is far more realism in films since the last 10 years. The society represents cinema and vice versa. Today because of major platforms, giants like Netflix, when we talk about Indian cinema which also comprises so many other regional cinema coming together, we are not just making films that are community specific but which are universal in nature.”

Talking about Sector 36 he said, “I feel as storyteller, someone needs to tell these stories, if not me. The idea is to have these stories be told.”

Featuring critically acclaimed actors Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal in roles unlike any they’ve portrayed before, Sector 36 explores themes of power, crime and social inequality. The film follows a police officer clashing with a cunning serial killer in a chilling investigation that uncovers secrets, leaving viewers captivated by its unforgettable characters long after the credits roll.

Vikrant took to his social media and posted glimpses of his experience at the festival, including his time on stage during the screening of Sector 36, and expressed his gratitude by writing, "Melbourne, you have my."
