Vikrant Massey: Championing the Common Man through Diverse Stories

Actor Vikrant Massey, promoting his film 'Sector 36', speaks on his commitment to portraying diverse characters and stories. Despite advice against it post '12Th Fail' success, Massey embraces varied roles. 'Sector 36', a crime thriller directed by Aditya Nimbalkar, explores power, crime, and social inequality.

Actor Vikrant Massey is on a mission to bring varied and compelling stories to the screen, particularly those that resonate with the common man. While promoting his upcoming film 'Sector 36' in Mumbai, Massey emphasized, "I don't want to limit myself by repeating the same kind of content. As an actor, my duty is to entertain the audience with diverse stories. There's a wealth of narratives to explore, and I want to delve into all of them. I aspire to inspire my audience through my work and become the voice of the common man."

Discussing the backlash against 'Sector 36', Massey revealed, "After the commercial success of '12Th Fail', many advised against doing 'Sector 36', a crime thriller exploring differing socio-economic backgrounds and ideologies. Despite these warnings, I believe some stories need to be told, and this is one of them."

Produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films and Jio Studios, 'Sector 36' marks the directorial debut of Aditya Nimbalkar and is set to release on September 13. Inspired by true events, the film examines the disappearance of children from a local slum, leading a police officer through a spine-chilling investigation into society's darker aspects. The narrative delves deep into themes of power, crime, and social inequality, with a gripping storyline featuring a police officer's clash with a cunning serial killer.
