Vikrant Massey, who has been receiving immense praise for his latest film The Sabarmati Report, now declared tax-free in many states, left everyone stunned on Monday morning by announcing his retirement. Massey has been in the spotlight ever since his film 12th Fail became a hit, earning widespread appreciation. His unexpected decision shocked fans and critics alike, with some expressing disappointment. However, several industry figures, including Dia Mirza and Sanjay Gupta, have voiced their support for the actor.
Dia Mirza showed her support by commenting on Vikrant’s post, writing, “Breaks are best—you’ll be even more amazing on the other side.”
Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta also weighed in on Vikrant’s decision, drawing a parallel to Hansal Mehta’s journey. On X (formerly Twitter), Gupta shared, “In 2008, Hansal Mehta left the film industry and Mumbai. He moved with his family to a small village called Malawali in Lonavala. There, he recalibrated and reinvented himself. In 2012, he returned with SHAHID, his career-best, and hasn’t looked back since.”
Gupta elaborated further, writing, “Do you realize the guts it takes to do that? To walk away from it all, despite having a family to support and the possibility of never directing again? It requires courage, resilience, and an extraordinary belief in yourself.”
Praising Vikrant Massey for his bold decision, Gupta added, “In a way, Vikrant Massey is doing the same. In these times of competition, insecurity, jealousy, and rivalry, it takes immense courage for an actor to step away and focus on his roles as a father, a husband, and a son. He deserves to be applauded, not criticized.”
While many fans extended their support and wished Vikrant Massey well for his future, others speculated about the reasons behind his decision. Some theorized it might be a marketing strategy for an upcoming film, while others wondered if it stemmed from political pressure.
One fan speculated, “Most likely a marketing strategy for an upcoming project to spark curiosity and drive people to theaters. He’ll probably revise his statement later. Relax.”
Another expressed concern, commenting, “I just hope this isn’t because of political pressure.”
Vikrant’s heartfelt note read:”Hello,The past few years and beyond have been nothing short of phenomenal. I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you for your unwavering support.As I move forward, I’ve come to realize it’s time to recalibrate and return home—to my roles as a husband, father, and son, and also as an actor.
So, in 2025, we will meet one last time. Until the time feels right again. Two final movies and countless cherished memories.Thank you, once again, for everything and all the moments in between.Forever indebted.”
