Last Updated:
Vikrant Massey, who is gearing up for his next film, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, says that he hopes his film 12th Fail gets a National Award.
Vikrant Massey has been delivering hit after hit in recent years. It's safe to say that the actor has established himself as one of the finest talents in the industry. However, this time, Massey is stepping into something completely new. He's both nervous and excited about being part of a 'commercial Bollywood film" with Santosh Singh's Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. The film also marks the debut of Shanaya Kapoor, who plays the lead opposite Massey. During the film's promotions, Massey spoke exclusively to News18 Showsha about how he hopes his previous project, 12th Fail, wins a National Award.
There have been specualtions on 12th Fail winning a National Award, however, nothing concrete has been announced yet. Talking about the same, he said, 'I hope it does. And I'm sorry, without cost of sounding pompous, and with utmost humility. I hope it does. I hope the film wins an award. I hope Vidhu Vinod Chopra wins an award. I hope I win an award. I've always aspired for one. I've prayed for one when I was that young kid wanting to become an actor, I always wanted a National Award because that's the greatest achievement an actor in India can have, to be presented an award by the President of the country. And I hope it happens. So, fingers crossed."
After Aankhon Ki Gustaakiyan, Massey is all set to start his soft preparation for his next film titled White, where he plays the titular role of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. 'There's one film that I am also soft prepping for. It is called White, wherein I play the honorable Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. [I am] very nervous. I'm spending a lot of time with him, with the script. I start shooting in August. [Spending time with him] is also very unnerving because he's something else. He's God-sent for me. This film, him everything, this opportunity is God-sent."
Talking about working with debutant Shanaya Kapoor, Massey says she was like a 'breath of fresh air." He added, 'It was lovely working with Shanaya. She is a breath of fresh air. There's so much that I learned from her. But also the same time when I when I took up this opportunity, I was very nervous because I've never done something like this, which is which is an outright commercial Bollywood Hindi movie wherein I'm lip syncing for the first time. I was very nervous."
Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor's Aankhon Ki Gustaakiyan releases on July 11.

Sanvikaa On Her 'Unsaid Chemistry' With Jitendra; Varun Dhawan Urges Media To Respect Privacy
Last Updated: Sanvikaa spoke about her chemistry with Jitendra in Panchayat, while Varun Dhawan urged the media to handle a celebrity's final journey with dignity and sensitivity. Pooja Singh, who goes by her stage name Sanvikaa, has quietly but powerfully etched her presence in the hearts of viewers with her portrayal of Rinki in Prime Video's Panchayat. As the series continues to trend, News18 Showsha exclusively caught up with the actor for a candid conversation on her bond with co-stars Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, and Raghubir Yadav, how life has changed since Panchayat happened, and her cinematic dreams. Varun Dhawan penned a strong note, urging the media to cover a celebrity's final journey with the utmost sensitivity. Though he didn't name anyone in his post, the actor's note comes right after Shefali Jariwala's death on Friday night. He also added that this isn't the way someone would want their last journey to be covered. Looks like the Hera Pheri 3 controversy has come to an end! Weeks after the news of Paresh Rawal's exit from Priyadarshan's film left everyone shocked, the veteran actor has now confirmed his return to the film, which also stars Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. In his latest interview, Paresh Rawal said that the differences have been 'resolved', and that the film will proceed as planned. Amitabh Bachchan has never shied away from publicly expressing his pride in his son, Abhishek Bachchan. In a recent heartfelt blog post, the legendary actor once again showered praise on Abhishek, calling him his 'uttaradhikari"—a true successor—not merely by blood but by merit and dedication. Reflecting on the profound quote from his father, the late Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Big B wrote, 'Mere bete, bete hone se mere uttaradhikari nahi honge; jo mere uttaradhikari honge woh mere bete honge" — a powerful assertion that inheritors are defined not by lineage but by action and values. Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone couldn't contain her admiration for Brad Pitt following the global release of his much-anticipated racing film F1. On Sunday, the Pathaan actor took to her Instagram Stories to share a playful tribute to Pitt, simply writing: 'Brad Pitt. That's it, that's the post. IYKYK." With that cheeky declaration, Deepika joined millions of fans around the world in swooning over the 60-year-old Hollywood icon's performance as a comeback Formula One driver.
