12th Fail: Amid the widespread acclaim for his latest film, Vikrant Massey is basking in success, garnering praise from numerous celebrities. Among them, Kangana Ranaut recently took to social media to laud his talent, highlighting his potential to fill the void left by the late Irrfan Khan. The actress expressed her admiration for Vikrant's acting prowess and called him 'beyond amazing'. Her post also hailed the director of 12th Fail --Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
Taking to her Instagram, Kangana wrote, "What a terrific film. Coming from Hindi medium myself belonging to a rural village and being a general caste student for entry tests without reservations in my school years, I was weeping throughout the film, ufff never cried so much in a flight, my co-passengers were stealing concerned glances at me, I am embarrassed." The post comes years after Kangana called Vikrant a 'cockroach.'
In her next story, she added, "Vidhu sir has won my heart all over again, Vikrant Massey is beyond amazing!! In his coming years he might just fill the void Irfan Khan saab left behind...salutations to your talent dear one."
Why Kangana called Vikrant a Cockroach?
Back in 2021, there was a stir when Vikrant Massey jokingly referred to his friend and Himachali actress Yami Gautam as 'Radhe Maa' in a photo from her wedding with Aditya Dhar. Following this as annoying Kangana, who is also a Himachali, took to Instagram and commented, "Kahan se nikla ye cockroach. Laao meri chappal (Where did this cockroach come from, bring my slippers)."
Reacting to this, Vikrant in an interview to Bollywood Bubble, said "I really don’t pay attention to all these things. I try to very consciously negate toxicity in my life. That’s why I don’t go to Twitter much and I have been very vocal about it. That is one of the worst public discourse platforms that we have. But individually, I generally don’t tend to pay attention to these things. So, to wrap it up I will quietly quote one of my favourite writers Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. You really pray for the ignorant. The only thing you can do for the ignorant and unaware is to pray for better sense and wish them the best in life."
