Vikrant Massey has been basking under the success of his recently released film 12th Fail. The film has garnered appreciation from all corners. Everyone from the audience to celebrities is in awe of his performance. Well, recently in an interview Vikrant shared an anecdote about almost collaborating with the legendary Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone for a film that was later shelved.
In a conversation with Unfiltered by Samdish, Vikrant recalled how he met late actor Irrfan Khan. The actor shared, “Pata hai, Irrfan Saab se mai apni building ki khud ki elevator me mila tha. Mere ghar k upar ek theatre actor rehte hai jo unke ache dost they toh vo unke ghar aae they aur mai gadi se kuch samaan lene jaa raha tha. Upar se lift neeche aai aur mainey jab uksa darwaza khola and Irrfan Saab ko dekha, mai bata nhi sakta what I felt. (I met Irrfan Saab at the elevator of my own building. On the floor above my house, a theatre artist lives who is his good friend. He had come to meet him. When the lift came down, I opened the door and saw Irrfan Saab. I can’t describe how I felt on seeing him.)”
Late on he also disclosed about a film which not many knew. He revealed that they almost worked together in a movie. “So, Vishal sir (Vishal Bhardwaj) was making a film named Sapna Didi. In that, Deepika (Padukone) and Irrfan Saab were there and I had a peripheral part so I was cast for it. So, Deepika and I were giving looks tests and he was playing the protagonist. And we were supposed to meet the next day but by the time I woke up and opened my eyes, the news of his cancer was already out. Everything stopped,” the actor recalled.
Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone worked in Piku together. Vikrant Massey is now set to appear in Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba and an untitled web series produced by Rajkumar Hirani. On the personal front, Vikrant Massey and Sheetal Thakur have become doting parents to a son after two years of blissful marriage. They welcomed their first child on February 7 this year.
