Vikrant Massey who shocked everyone by recently announcing his temporary retirement, would be seen one more time , this time as the archvillain in Farhan Akhtar’s eagerly awaited Don 3.

A source very close to the development confirmed this interesting casting. “Farhan wanted someone who was young unpredictable and compatible on screen with Ranveer Singh. Contrary to belief, Vikrant had no qualms playing the antagonist, especially since the part is written most interestingly , and is as important as the protagonist’s character.”

In 2023 we saw Vikrant sweep across the nation’s collective conscience in 12th Fail with a yearning performance that yelled at educational elitism. In 2024 Vikrant sent a chill up the nation’s collective spine playing a gruesome unapologetic mass killer in Sector 36 and a Hindi channel journalist Samar Kumar who is pushed around by his bosses at the television broadcast station on account of his vernacular identity in Sabarmati Report.

Does Vikrant Massey ever disappoint? In 2023, we saw him sweep across the nation’s collective conscience in 12th Fail with a yearning performance that yelled at educational elitism. Earlier this year, Vikrant sent a chill up the nation’s collective spine playing a gruesome, unapologetic mass killer in Sector 36. He is now back in a role that allows him to do what he is best at: play an underdog who rises when pushed and prodded into a corner. Vikrant plays a Hindi channel journalist, Samar Kumar, who is pushed around by his bosses at the television broadcast station on account of his vernacular identity.

Vikrant rightfully gives Sabarmati Report due importance. “It is the single most important film. I place it right at the top with some of my best work. Or some of my best films and best subjects, I think, including 12th Fail and Sector 36 and Death in the Gunj.
