On Monday, Vikrant Massey surprised his fans and the film industry by hinting at his retirement from acting. This announcement came after his acclaimed performance in '12th Fail' last year. In a recent interview, Vikrant addressed the rumours surrounding his retirement post.

Vikrant, who recently received praise for 'The Sabarmati Report', stirred the internet with an Instagram post suggesting he might leave showbiz. On December 2, he shared a heartfelt message on Instagram expressing gratitude for the support he has received over the years.

In his Instagram note, 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."

This message led to various speculations about his future plans.

Some industry insiders suggested it might be a publicity stunt or a strategic move for an upcoming role in Don 3. Harshvardhan Rane speculated it could be a PR strategy, while others thought Vikrant wanted to avoid overextending himself.

In an interview with News18, Vikrant clarified that he is not retiring but taking a break due to burnout and personal reasons. He stated, "I am not retiring... Just burned out. Need a long break. Miss home and health are also acting up... People misread it," explaining that fans misunderstood his intentions.

For those unaware, Vikrant has two films lined up: 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' with Shanaya Kapoor and 'Yaar Jigri'. These projects will likely be his focus before he takes the planned hiatus.

The actor's decision to step back temporarily highlights the pressures faced by those in the entertainment industry. His fans eagerly await further updates on his career path and upcoming projects.
