Actor Vikrant Massey has been a force to reckon with, wowing the audience with his stellar performances in movies like 12th Fail and The Sabarmati Report. Amidst this triumph, Vikrant Massey was honoured with 'The Indian Film Personality of the Year Award' at the 55th International Film Festival, a recognition that makes his fans proud. 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's retirement announcement created a ruckus among his fans and well-wishers, who were shocked that an established actor like him had decided to leave the industry. Especially when he is delivering back-to-back hits ranging from 12th Fail to his recently released The Sabarmati Report. However, Vikrant shared a post sharing that he is taking a break from films. Now his co-star, Harshvardhan Rane, revealed that he thinks that Vikrant's retirement announcement is a PR move. In Rane's words:
“He is a man with a clear and centered thought process. I respect his work ethic and look up to his acting process on Haseen Dillruba’s shoot. Hope he gets back to making films like Aamir Khan sir also did after making a similar announcement. These are great artists, and our country needs their presence in our cinema. I’m praying this is just some PR activity forced on him by some filmmaker.”
Harshvardhan shared that Vikrant is a man with clear thought and an excellent work ethic. He wishes that Vikrant, just like Aamir Khan, gets back-to-back films. However, Harshvardhan hopes and prays that the retirement announcement is a PR movie forced by any filmmaker.
Vikrant Massey's Instagram post, announcing his retirement, has left his fans in a state of disbelief. The actor chose a Monday morning to share this news. In his note, Vikrant Massey began by thanking his audience and his massive fanbase for their unwavering support. He acknowledged that the past few years have been 'phenomenal'.
Looking ahead, Vikrant Massey shared that as he embarks on a new phase in his life, he feels the need to return home.

While he has two highly anticipated films, Yaar Jigri and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, scheduled for release in 2025, he hinted that this might not be the end of his journey. He promised to meet his audience 'one last time' in 2025, leaving them with a sense of anticipation for what the future holds.
