“Respect is greater than love!” says Vikrant Massey

After playing the underdog for years on TV and in films, it seems like Vikrant Massey is finally getting his due… even the memes now call him the latest Radhika Apte of Netflix! The transition from being a sidekick in movies to the lead character of the plot has been fierce and a long haul for the actor who has repeatedly stunned us, from his performance as Devdas in Lootera (2013) to his recent act in Chhapaak (2020). Even when working on a remake of a show, he didn’t watch the original because he gets “heavily influenced and rather prefers to bring out an element of freshness to every role he plays.” There’s a good chance one may spot this Mumbai boy on the streets, not cruising in his car but riding his bicycle. That’s how massy Massey is!
