‘Last 2 films and many years of lovely memories…’ This is the line that famous actor Vikrant Massey has written at the end of his post. Indeed, Vikrant Massey’s last two films ’12th Fail’ and ‘The Sabarmati Report’ were excellent. Through these films, not only did Vikrant’s popularity increase but the audience also got to see a different avatar of him. Right now the audience might be wondering when Vikrant’s next film will come and what will be its subject, but before that, Vikrant surprised everyone with one of his Instagram posts on Monday.
It was told in the post that he is taking retirement. This post of his is really shocking everyone. That too at a time when his film career is at its peak. Well, first of all let us tell you what is the reason given by him for retirement in the post? Vikrant writes, ‘The last few years and the years before that were very good. I want to thank you all for your support. Now moving forward in life, I realized that the time has come for me to return home as a father, a husband, a son and an actor. You are going to see me on screen for the last time in the year 2025. Last 2 films and many years of lovely memories. In the meantime, thanks for everything else.
Want to return home… what does it mean? Is Vikrant not able to balance between his work and family? Or is there some other reason… I don’t know exactly, but even before the release of ‘The Sabarmati Report’, he seemed a little worried. In an interview given to Dainik Bhaskar’s YouTube channel, the actor had said that he was receiving threats on WhatsApp and social networking sites. He had told that some people are also sharing the name of his 9 month old child through these platforms and he is also very worried about the safety of his child.
Vikrant’s post and his interview statement… if we see both together, it forces us to think. Social media, which we consider to be the biggest medium of communication, is being misused every day. Trolling someone without any reason has become a common thing and now even the stars have become addicted to it. Generally it is seen now that stars do not respond to trolls, but Vikrant taking retirement like this, that too when his career is touching new heights… it is forcing us to think.
On one hand, the megastar of the century, Amitabh Bachchan has been continuously active in films for the last 5 decades. On the other hand, veteran actors like Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan are eager to work continuously for the last 3 decades… On the other hand, there is an actor who is about to achieve stardom, which he might have dreamed of many years ago, without even achieving it. Wants to return. This is very sad. It is obvious that Vikrant might be taking this step under some compulsion, but we can only speculate, only only he will know the real reason.
Let us tell you, as soon as the news of Vikrant’s retirement came out, a few hours later another news came out. PM Modi will watch Vikrant’s film ‘The Sabarmati Report’ with some Union Ministers this evening. Now after watching this film, what statement does PM Modi issue and whether he says anything about Vikrant or not, this will also soon be in front of all of us.
