Ashwini Deshmukh Prompts The Reticent Vikrant Massey To Share His Dreams And Desires
Arati Kadav’s sci-fi film Cargo, Alankrita Shrivastava’s Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare and Seema Pahwa’s Pind Daan. He’s part of web projects like Mirzapur, Made In Heaven and Broken as well. Well, all this proves his eclectic tastes where it comes to his selection of roles.
Hailing from Versova in suburban Mumbai, Vikrant witnessed many shootings in the vicinity while growing up. “I have memories of actors like Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff shooting near my home,” he smiles. Vikrant began learning dance under Shiamak Davar’s tutelage from an early age. Later, he became an assistant instructor with Shiamak. He was just 16 when he got a casting call for a serial. He got selected but the show for which he had left his secure job with Shiamak, never went on air. But as luck would have it, someone from Disney Channel happened to spot him. They cast him in a show called Dhoom Machao Dhoom. “This turned out to be a rage among the youth,” he says. He rose to further fame with the popular daily soap, Balika Vadhu even though he wasn’t the lead in the show.
