Vikrant Massey is a one-of-a-kind actor who has made a distinct presence in the industry with his versatile talent. Every time he appears on screen, he brings a new shade to his acting.
This was evident in his recently released Sector 36, where he played the intense role of a serial killer.
Known for fully immersing himself in his characters, this time Vikrant was wary of taking the character home with him.
While speaking about his character in Sector 36, Vikrant said in a recent interview, “I found that certain scenes presented an opportunity to showcase a different side of myself. While shooting those scenes, I often felt my hands and feet go cold, not due to lack of preparation but because of the emotional weight of the story I was telling. It really hits hard.”
Massey also shared how his past experiences helped him prepare for his role in Sector 36, “I’m glad that my past experiences helped me prepare for Sector 36. In films like A Death In The Gunj and Love Hostel, my emotional and mental health took a toll. So when I signed up for Sector 36, I told myself, ‘Vikrant, approach this character, Prem Singh, professionally. Work hard, but make sure you don’t get too engrossed in it. Your mental and emotional well-being will go for a toss,” Vikrant added.
The actor kept motivating himself for yet another day on the set of Sector 36, “Shooting away from home adds another layer of challenge. You’re not returning to your family after a long day; instead, you’re going back to a hotel, which can be daunting. There were moments on set when I felt genuinely scared. I wouldn’t say I was nervous, but I definitely felt that cold sensation in my hands and feet while filming. Which is why I was adamant about not bringing the character home with me,” Vikrant concluded.
Sector 36 premiered at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, Vikrant received an outpouring of love and admiration from the audience. Following the massive success of 12th Fail, Vikrant Massey is on a roll. His performance in Sector 36 earned him praise from both fans and critics, and he is now gearing up for his next project, The Sabarmati Report.
