New Delhi: Vikrant Massey recently talked about how he often teams up with unprofessional actors who are more concerned with making reels on set than they are with doing their work. The actor, who now has an acclaimed movie career, has many years of experience in the entertainment industry. Before going into movies, he began his career with television. 

Vikrant Massey calls out Bollywood actors

In an interview with Samdish Bhatia, Vikrant said that making reels is the first thing some actors do when they arrive on set.

"I won’t drop their name but that person knows and that person got to know about it there and then so my purpose was solved at that time. I say things on the face and I don’t have anything apart from my work. I love my job and acting is everything for me,” the actor said.

Vikrant Massey talks about Farhan Akhtar

While citing Farhan Akhtar as an example of someone who should be admired, Vikrant said, "I am really inspired by him. What does he not have in life? He is the son of Javed Akhtar. On Dil Dhadakne Do set, he was acting, he was also the producer, his sister Zoya Akhtar was making the film, but when he would come for rehearsals, he never carried the script in his hand. He remembered all his lines and lines of other people. If a person like Farhan Akhtar can do his homework then you should be ashamed.”

'12th Fail', which was directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, turned out to be a super hit, earning about Rs 70 crore globally. The film was made on a modest Rs 20 crore budget. At the 69th Filmfare Awards, the movie received strong support and won five prizes, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor (Critics) for Massey.
