Vikrant, who has captivated audiences with his top-notch and versatile performances, also talked about the need for films belonging to the ‘real and rooted’ genre. He shared that due to the lack of such films on the big screen, their film, 12th Fail has such a long run in the cinemas. In his words:
“There’s a lack of such stories being told on the big screen and that’s precisely one of the reasons behind the longevity and popularity of our film. I strongly feel we should make more such films, which are more culturally rooted and closer home.”
