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.

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.
