Vikrant Massey Reveals How He Won Over Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Vikrant had to convince VVC he deserved the 12th Fail role

Vikrant Massey has spilled the tea on landing one of his most career-defining roles yet. According to reports making the rounds in the Indian media circuit, celebrated filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra put him through the ultimate audition question during pre-production for 12th Fail, which became one of Vikrant’s breakout projects.
VVC apparently asked Vikrant point-blank: why should he cast him? Not exactly a vote of confidence, but Vikrant took it as the ultimate challenge. Rather than backing down, the actor spoke about how he directly addressed the question and proved himself worthy to the filmmaker. It was a pivotal moment that could have gone either way.
12th Fail went on to become a significant milestone in Vikrant’s career, showcasing his impressive range and talent as a performer. The film’s critical acclaim and box office success proved that VVC’s tough-love approach during the casting process had paid off in spades.
Vikrant, who’s previously impressed audiences in films like Lootera, A Death in the Gunj, and the series Mirzapur, clearly has what it takes to silence doubters and earn the trust of discerning directors. GaraMasalaFM’s cameras are tracking every twist in Vikrant’s rising career.
