Charting Vikrant Massey’s Inspirational Journey: From Television to Silver Screen
Vikrant Massey’s ascent in the entertainment industry over the past two decades stands as a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication, steering clear of the conventional rat race. Acting has always been Massey’s singular passion, and his illustrious career spanning more than 15 years is a testament to his remarkable acting prowess. Born on April 3, 1987, in Mumbai, Massey was deeply inspired by the late actor Irrfan Khan’s performances, igniting his interest in acting.
In 2007, Massey made his foray into acting with the television show “Dhoom Machaao Dhoom” aired on Disney Channel India. This initial venture paved the way for his appearances in popular TV shows like “Dharam Veer,” “Balika Vadhu,” and “Baba Aiso Varr Dhoondo,” among others. Despite his success on the small screen, Massey harbored aspirations for the silver screen, which materialized with his breakthrough role in Bollywood in 2013’s “Lootera,” where he showcased his versatility as Dev.
Following “Lootera,” Massey’s career gained momentum, with notable performances in films such as “Dil Dhadakne Do” (2015), “A Death in the Gunj” (2016), “Lipstick Under My Burkha” (2016), and “Chhapaak” (2020). Despite facing skepticism due to his television background, Massey persevered, eventually earning accolades for his lead role in “A Death In The Gunj,” which earned him the prestigious Filmfare Award for Best Actor.
Massey’s impact extended to the realm of web shows, where his roles in series like “Mirzapur,” “Broken But Beautiful,” “Made In Heaven,” and “Criminal Justice” left an indelible mark on OTT platforms.
A decade into his film career, Massey reached a pinnacle with his role in “12th Fail,” directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, marking a significant milestone. The film’s success catapulted Massey into stardom, validating his journey and cementing his status as one of Bollywood’s finest talents.
