‘12th Fail’ has become a silver jubilee hit, completing 25 weeks in the theatres. The superhit film has reportedly earned over Rs 70 crore at the box office. The film starring Vikrant Massey in lead role released in October and has earned a lot of critical acclaim since then.
Speaking on the special occasion in an interview, Vikrant Massey said, “There's a lot more to do and many stories that I want to tell. There are so many more movies that Vinod sir and I want to make together. So it's just the beginning." Expressing his gratitude towards his director, he further added, “I'm really glad that I got this opportunity to play Manoj. If I have to thank someone besides the audience, then it has to be Vinod sir. He really entrusted me with this role. He's given me my own restart moment."
The actor also opened up about what has changed for him post the success of ‘12th Fail’. “The only thing that has changed is the number of people knowing me now, their reception towards me has been the same. Even when I was doing TV, people respected me for the work I did and they continue to do that. The hugs and pats are warmer, but it remains the same,” he said.
Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 20 crore, ‘12th Fail’ and its success has come as a surprise to trade analysts, especially at a time when spectacle cinema seems to be the flavour of the season. The biopic film was based on the journey of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma and IRS officer Shraddha Joshi.
The talented actor will be next seen in ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba’ opposite Taapsee Pannu. The movie is a sequel to his 2021 hit ‘Haseen Dilruba’.
