Vikrant Massey made his first appearance after announcing his retirement
Vikrant’s retirement announcement earlier today came as a big shock to the industry, especially considering that the 12th Fail actor is thriving in his career at the moment. While Vikrant confirmed his retirement news, some are calling it nothing more than a PR stunt.
Today was also the first time that Vikrant’s latest movie, The Sabarmati Report, was screened in the Parliament, alongside PM Narendra Modi and other members. Following the screening, Vikrant attended reporters with his co-star, Raashii Khanna. Speaking to the media, Vikrant called watching his film with the Prime Minister the ‘highest point’ of his career. Talking about the monumental moment, the actor said:
“I still can’t fully express how special it feels.”
However, when quizzed about his retirement announcement, Vikrant sidestepped the topic and walked away, leaving co-star Raashii Khanna to address questions about the film. Soon after, a video snippet of the moment made rounds on social media, raising speculations that this might not be a PR stunt after all.
