Vikrant Massey's recent film '12th Fail,' directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, has garnered praise and success, collecting a lifetime collection of Rs 55 crore in India. Riding on the triumph of the film, the actor has joined producer Ekta R. Kapoor for an upcoming project.
Vikrant Massey is set to star in Ekta Kapoor's upcoming untitled political thriller, which revolves around a shocking true story from the early 2000s that had a profound impact on the nation and reshaped the political landscape in India. Ranjan Chandel, acclaimed for directing the popular digital series 'Grahan,' will helm the film.
As per a report in Pinkvilla Ekta R. Kapoor is excited to bring this story to the big screen. While there have been several debates on the episode over the years, none has braved to make a film on this subject. Ekta has always been a risk-taker and has decided to back this story and bring it to the spectacle. It’s as hard-hitting as it gets and has all the scope for performance. The script has not just excited him on the creative front but also the actor in him, as it has scope to deliver another strong and layered performance. Vikrant, Ekta, and Ranjan have had multiple meetings over the last few months and are all ready to take the film to the floors within the next few months.
The movie will be produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor, Amul V. Mohan, and Anshul Mohan. The story is written by Aseem Arora. The makers will be making an official announcement about the film. Director Ranjan has already started his pre-production work, and the acting workshops will begin shortly.
