In his 10-year run in the movie industry so far, Vikrant Massey has steadily risen to become a dependable actor, giving us memorable performances in A Death in the Gunj (2016), Chhapaak (2020) and Haseen Dillruba (2021). Contrary to what one might expect, it wasn’t the transition from supporting acts to lead roles that proved the most difficult for him. The actor, who is now fronting Gaslight alongside Sara Ali Khan and Chitrangda Singh, says the bigger fight was to break away from restrictive labels. Massey recollects, “Within the fraternity, they bracket you a lot. Until three to four years ago, people would still call me a television actor. I would snap back, asking, ‘What is a TV actor or a film actor? Every superstar is on television today. Why don’t you call them television actors?’”
