Vikrant Massey is 37 but looks like he could play a college student in his next. Seated in a Netflix studio, he laughs when asked about the secret of his youthful appearance. "It could be my face wash!" he jokes. "But the honest answer is my skin needed some fresh air, so I shaved." There could be more beneath the surface though, the simple fact that it's just a good time to be Vikrant Massey. Nearly a year since its release, the Masseyled 12th Fail is still cited as the feel-good film that proved it doesn't always take a spectacle to win over audiences in cinemas. Then there's Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, a sequel to the popular romantic thriller, which trended at #1 on Netflix for weeks. And now Massey is excited for people to see him as a serial killer-that too of children - in Sector 36, also a Netflix release.
