Vikrant Massey Discusses Future of ’12th Fail’ Sequel
- Vikrant Massey addresses the possibility of a sequel to ’12th Fail’
- The actor reveals his interest in exploring new roles
- ’12th Fail’ was based on the real-life story of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma
Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey, renowned for his role as an IPS officer in “12th Fail,” recently shared his thoughts on a potential sequel to the hit movie. During an interview with an Indian media outlet, Massey was asked about reprising his role in a sequel to Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s sleeper hit and how he chooses his projects.
Massey revealed, “I’m getting a lot of calls, people are saying let’s do another 12th Fail, but I’m making a conscious shift to pick something different. When something works, people want more of it, hence Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, but over here, it is applicable because we left off the first part in a way that there was a potential to see what happens in their lives beyond this.”
He continued, “If I may say so, I really don’t see a 12th Fail part two (happening). Do people want it? Yes. But is that the right thing? I mean, that is a collective decision that all of us have to take. From my experience, whatever little I know, yes, the films that work, people want you to do more of it again.”
The movie ’12th Fail,’ based on the best-selling book by Indian author Anurag Pathak, follows the real-life story of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma. Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the film stars Vikrant Massey, Medha Shankar, Anant V Joshi, Anshumaan Pushkar, and Priyanshu Chatterjee.
Initially released across India on October 27 last year, the film was later re-released in Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu versions on November 3. Massey’s portrayal of the IPS officer earned him the Best Actor Award at the 69th Filmfare Awards, while the biographical drama won several accolades including Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Actor Critics – Male for Massey.
