Vikrant Massey Argues For Capital Punishment For Rape 'Depending On Case': 'As A Man, I Feel Ashamed...'
Vikrant Massey said that a woman's safety is not just restricted to a film set.

Actor Vikrant Massey recently opened up about the Justice Hema Committee report and said that serious offences like rape deserve capital punishment. He said that a woman’s safety is not just restricted to a film set and added that he feels ashamed that he is more secure than the women around him.

“I think I would just not narrow it down to a film set. Without discrediting what happened down south in the Malayalam film industry, without discrediting the Hema Committee… but I think I would not want to narrow it down to just what has happened down there. There are equally important issues that need to be looked into,” he told The Hindu.

He added, “As a man, I feel ashamed when I say that I am far more secure than the opposite sex. Unfortunately, they are not as safe as I am and I think it’s about time that all of us collectively come together, and look at the rot within first to begin with because the change begins with you.”

Vikrant also argued for capital punishment and said, “Depending on the case, capital punishment could be granted. In the case of minors, it definitely should.” “But when I say this, a lot of us need to look at the rot within,” he added. “In the case of minors, I think capital punishment should be given and it should be fast-tracked,” he said. However, Vikrant also noted that Human Rights advocates and other necessary perspectives are also needed in this regard.

Meanwhile, Vikrant Massey is currently seen in Sector 36. Directed by debutant filmmaker Aditya Nimbalkar, Sector 36 takes viewers on a gripping journey, tracing the transformation of Inspector Ram Charan Pandey (played by Deepak Dobriyal) from a complacent officer into a determined hunter when justice becomes personal.

At the centre of the plot is the enigmatic Prem Singh (portrayed by Vikrant Massey), a terrifying and layered character who hides in plain sight. The dynamic between the two leads drives the tension, as Ram Charan’s pursuit of Prem evolves into a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

News18 Showsha’s review of the film reads, “The exceptional writing is further elevated by stellar performances from Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal. Vikrant delivers a chilling portrayal of the unstable, maniacal Prem, bringing immense terror and rage to the screen. His performance is a standout, playing a character who embodies a murderer, rapist, necrophile and cannibal, all in one. Vikrant fully immerses himself in the role, making it one of the finest performances of his career, comparable to his turn in 12th Fail. Deepak Dobriyal, as Ram, complements him perfectly, portraying the transformation from a laid-back cop to a driven reformer, determined to bring Prem to justice.”
