Vikrant Massey discusses his evolution as an actor, emphasizing his desire to break free from being stereotyped as a 'poor, malnourished, simple boy-next-door.' He finds enjoyment in portraying grey characters, as seen in his latest project 'Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba,' and believes that this shift reflects a broader change in Hindi cinema towards more complex storytelling. Massey acknowledges the expectations placed on him after '12th Fail' but is determined to surprise audiences with unconventional roles, including his upcoming Netflix thriller 'Sector 36.' He credits supportive writers and producers for recognizing his potential beyond physical appearance, and asserts that recent performances have challenged the perceptions of him. By choosing diverse and morally ambiguous roles, Massey aims to avoid creative stagnation and keep his work engaging. His commitment to humanizing characters in morally grey narratives resonates with contemporary viewers, marking a significant departure from traditional portrayals in Bollywood.
