Actor Vikrant Massey has been wowing the audience with his stellar performances in movies like 12th Fail and The Sabarmati Report. His fans had hoped to see many other such projects from the actor, but Vikrant shocked everyone with an Instagram announcement earlier on December 2, 2024. The actor shared about his decision to take a break from acting and announced his retirement.
Vikrant Massey shared that he wanted to step back and focus on his family. He added that his last two movies will be released in 2025, sparking a debate between the fans on a discussion platform over the sudden announcement. While some believe that the actor has made the right decision by prioritizing his personal life, others are not so sure about his decision, as some have even called it a publicity stunt.
Many fans argued that the announcement was for a hiatus and the actor would be back from his break in the future. Many social media users have also argued that it is not a final goodbye to his career, as it had been reported. This was based on Vikrant's use of the word 'for now' in his note. Some fans even hailed him for prioritizing his family, saying that he has been in the industry for ages and it is good for him to take some time off. One user wrote:
"It's a break. He says he'll be back later. He's young and talented; no doubt he'll be back; people like his work a lot."
Vikrant Massey's last two films have changed his life. He has finally been rewarded with the much-deserved critical acclaim and box office returns since the release of his film, 12th Fail. His decision to retire at the peak of his career came as a surprise to his fans. However, some fans have still shown their undivided support to the actor, as one Redditor wrote:
"TBH, it’s such a brave decision to do it at this time when your career is doing better and could potentially get bigger. So my respect to him for doing what seems right at the moment."

Social media has also been speculating that Vikrant Massey may be thinking about entering politics. The recent release of his film, The Sabarmati Report, has earned him praises in political circles as well. Even Prime Minister, Narendra Modi lauded his performance in the film. Keeping these speculations in mind, one user wrote:
"He’s going to be in politics for sure. It's a bad move, and it’s too early for him. A year from now, nobody will remember him, but he seems like a delulu and has a false reality."
