Ashwini Deshmukh Prompts The Reticent Vikrant Massey To Share His Dreams And Desires

Vikrant Massey is busy as hell. He’s got an important role in the remake of Criminal Justice, which is being developed into a web series by Tigmanshu Dhulia. The director has given him an important life lesson. “Tigmanshu told me you’ve got to constantly refill yourself. And the biggest input is from life itself… experiences, observations… We’ve become so consumed by technology after digitalisation that we overlook things around us. Things which would have affected us a few years back,” he says. He’s also playing the lead in Ronnie Screwvala’s Yaar Jigri, helmed by debutant Amit Joshi. The film pairs him with Sunny Singh of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety fame. Other projects include

Arati Kadav’s sci-fi film Cargo, Alankrita Shrivastava’s Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare and Seema Pahwa’s Pind Daan. He’s part of web projects like Mirzapur, Made In Heaven and Broken as well. Well, all this proves his eclectic tastes where it comes to his selection of roles.

Hailing from Versova in suburban Mumbai, Vikrant witnessed many shootings in the vicinity while growing up. “I have memories of actors like Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff shooting near my home,” he smiles. Vikrant began learning dance under Shiamak Davar’s tutelage from an early age. Later, he became an assistant instructor with Shiamak. He was just 16 when he got a casting call for a serial. He got selected but the show for which he had left his secure job with Shiamak, never went on air. But as luck would have it, someone from Disney Channel happened to spot him. They cast him in a show called Dhoom Machao Dhoom. “This turned out to be a rage among the youth,” he says. He rose to further fame with the popular daily soap, Balika Vadhu even though he wasn’t the lead in the show.
