The actor, who has been making waves with his recent performances, shared the news on his Instagram on December 1, expressing his decision to step back for an indefinite period to focus on personal priorities.

In a heartfelt message, Vikrant wrote: "Hello, The last few years and beyond have been phenomenal. I thank each and every one of you for your indelible support. But as I move forward, I realise it’s time to recalibrate and go back home. As a Husband, Father & a Son. And also as an Actor. So, coming 2025, we would meet each other for one last time. Until time deems right. Last 2 movies and many a years of memories. Thank you again. For everything and everything in between. Forever indebted."

The announcement comes on the heels of his recent success in The Sabarmati Report, a film that has garnered significant attention. Vikrant's performance in the film, which is based on the real-life Godhra train incident, was widely praised, and the film was even declared tax-free in several states. The Sabarmati Report also earned accolades from prominent figures such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, further cementing Vikrant's place in the industry.

Vikrant’s role in 12th Fail (2023), directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, also marked a career milestone, with the actor receiving widespread recognition for his portrayal of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma. His performance in 12th Fail made a significant impact, resonating deeply with audiences and critics alike.

In addition to The Sabarmati Report, Vikrant has two more films in the pipeline: Yaar Jigri and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan. However, following his recent post, fans are uncertain when he will return to the big screen. His message suggests that he is taking this break to focus on his personal life and rediscover his passion for acting when the time feels right.

The announcement has left the entertainment world stunned. Many of his colleagues, including actress Esha Gupta, have expressed their support and best wishes for his break. Esha wrote a simple yet heartfelt message, commenting on Vikrant’s post with a series of heart emojis.

While Vikrant’s break marks the end of a highly successful and rapidly rising chapter in his career, his decision to recalibrate and reconnect with his family and roots is one that has been met with understanding from his peers and fans alike. His sincerity and thoughtfulness are reflective of the deep connection he shares with his audience, who have supported him throughout his journey in cinema.
