Vikrant Massey credits wife Sheetal Thakur's insight for his aspiration to "sell emotions" in films like 12th Fail and Sector 36: "I aim to make you feel something through the story"

In a recent interview with Filmfare, Vikrant Massey opened up about his approach to acting which is reflective and profoundly connected to the world around him. He believes everyone grapples with their dark areas and has a different way of handling them.

Talking about the same Vikrant said, “Every person has their dark areas, but I’m not a trained actor, so what happens to me? My preparation comes from different sources. I draw inspiration from the books I read, my travel experiences, and staying informed about current affairs. I’m very much a part of this society; I don’t feel detached from it. There’s a collective conscience we all share. I don’t follow a specific method but my goal is to evoke emotion through every story.”

Vikrant articulated a powerful aspiration as he added, "I’ve always aspired to be an actor who conveys feelings. Last year, after 12th Fail, my wife shared a quote that struck me: it said that Amazon sells convenience and Rolls Royce sells status, Disney sells childhood. I realized I wanted to sell emotions as an actor. Whether it’s 12th Fail or Sector 36, I aim to make you feel something through the story.”

His preparation for each film varies, adapting to the styles of different directors and co-actors. He stresses the importance of this adaptability, saying, “The preparation process varies with each film due to different directors and co-actors, each with their methods. Adapting to those is essential. However, the core objective remains the same: to evoke the desired emotions in the audience. That’s what I’m chasing, and my approach evolves accordingly.”

Vikrant is currently gearing up for his next, The Sabarmati Report with Raashi Khanna. He also has Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan.
