In a recent interview with Unfiltered by Samdish, Vikrant Massey, known for his remarkable performance in 12th Fail, delved into his television days, reminiscing about the challenges and struggles he faced before making a mark in the film industry. Before transitioning to films, Vikrant graced the small screen in serials like Balika Vadhu, Dharam Veer, and Baba Aisa Var Dhoondho.

Vikrant Massey recalls shooting for “110 hours straight” during TV days; says, “Back in the day, artistes would shoot for 18-20 hours”

Reflecting on his television stint, Vikrant revealed the gruelling schedules he endured during those days. He disclosed, “Back in the day, artistes would shoot for 18-20 hours. There came a time when I had to shoot for 110 hours straight without stopping.”

Furthermore, Vikrant shared an anecdote highlighting the challenges he faced as a television actor. He recounted how scriptwriters had to rework scripts to accommodate him as fillers in every frame due to the demanding shooting schedules. Vikrant expressed, “They had no choice but to use me as a filler. Day shifts were melting into night shifts. There was no sense of time. Funnily, when they finally packed up, it wasn’t even for me. An actor who came to the set at 10 am in the morning got upset and walked out by evening.”

On the work front, Massey’s performance in 12th Fail garnered critical acclaim, earning him the Critics Award for Best Actor at the 69th Filmfare Awards. The film is now streaming on Disney + Hotstar.
