12th Fail actor Vikrant Massey opens up on nepotism in Bollywood!
Mon December 18th, 2023
Thanks to his outstanding performance in the recently released film 12th Fail, which has received great reviews, Vikrant Massey is currently enjoying the success of his project. The actor plays Manoj Kumar Sharma, IPS, a real-life police officer, in the Vidhu Vinod Chopra-directed film. Vikrant discussed his views on nepotism in the industry based on his personal experience in a recent interview.
In an interview with a media agency, Vikrant Massey said that the industry is a merit-based institution. Sharing a light on how nepotism is in every sphere, the actor further added, "Even a shopkeeper in Chandni Chowk would not go out to search for someone to sit in the shop; he would ask his son only. So, it is in every field. I am not a trained actor. If you are someone’s son or daughter and you get ample opportunities, if you are not good at work, you will be immediately shown the door in this industry.”
Vikrat described the sector as difficult and mentioned that people get the false impression that this is a democratic community where everything is simple. He went on to say that although the industry is a thriving and forward-thinking community, it is not a family.
"It is a very competitive industry. There are thousands of actors who want to take my place. Do they wish well for me? Or am I irreplaceable? No. If I break my leg, someone else will come and take my place and start shooting in the next 4 days, and that is how competitive it is," further added the 12th Fail actor.
Vikrant Massey stated in the same interview that labor, not caste, is what counts. Giving instances of how technicians from Chhattisgarh first worked as light men before becoming well-known technicians, the actor added, "They got this based on their work and creativity. It is a beautiful industry where caste and religion don’t matter.”
