Vikrant Massey
With `Haseen Dillruba`, two things were firmly established — that there are enough takers for a twisted romantic thriller. Secondly, there is little that Vikrant Massey, who perhaps got the most delicious part in the love triangle, can`t pull off with conviction. For the actor, playing Rishu in the Taapsee Pannu and Harshvardhan Rane-starrer was a way of shattering his good-boy perception. A week into the film dropping online, we start our chat with the question everyone is asking on Twitter: Is there a sequel on the cards? “It looks like a genuine possibility. People want it, and if there is public demand, we will think about it. The film ends at a delicious point, and Kanika [Dhillon] is a masterful writer. Sequels depend on producers; if they are game, we will be too. When this film came to me, I was looking to play a grey part. Basis my off-screen personality, the public perception is, ‘How sweet is this boy!` But as an actor, I need to bring to screen every facet of human personality. I am fortunate that I am not pigeon-holed, and want my audience to find something new with each [of my offerings].”
Where the Netflix film scores on its strong performances, it also has its weak points, particularly the central idea that true love comes with a shade of sadomasochism. A section of netizens have pointed out that the film glorifies toxic love. The actor defends the depiction, saying, “If people don`t like a film, that`s fair. But they need to understand we don`t live in a utopian world. It`s almost like bachcho ke saamne sach mat bolo. We weren`t justifying [the behaviour]. It`s a story that belongs in a pulpy fictional world.”
