Vikrant Massey announced he was retiring from acting in the wee hours of Monday.
Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey shocked everyone with his decision to retire from films. The actor, in the wee hours of Monday, announced that he is taking a step back from films. He also added that he will return to the spotlight if a deserving opportunity presents itself. Although the actor did not shed light on his sudden decision, a director who has worked with him weighed in on the possible reason behind Vikrant’s retirement.
“Vikrant doesn’t want to spread himself too thin. He has been flooded with offers from OTT and movies. His fear is that he is over exposing himself and the audience might soon be tired of him. He’s often expressed this worry in his conversations about doing too many films and tiring his audience out. So it’s a brave decision to take a break and give yourself some time. Why not?” a director told India Today on the condition of anonymity.

Another source from the industry told the outlet that his move could also be a stratergy to reinvent himself. “He’s most likely to play the negative lead in the next Don being made by Excel Entertainment. I won’t be surprised if this break could be a way of reinventing himself and then doing a relaunch in a totally new look and style. Vikrant has always been a thinking actor. He’s not someone who does things on the surface, so this break could have something to do with Don 3,” the grapevine said.
