He further added: "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." This message led to speculation about his retirement.
Later clarifying to News18 Showsha, Vikrant said: "I'm not retiring... Just burned out. Need a long break. Miss home and health are also acting up... People misread it [the social media post]." He emphasized that acting remains his passion: "Acting is all I can do. And it has given me everything I have."
Vikrant explained that both his physical and mental health have suffered due to work pressures: "I just want to take some time off, want to better my craft." He feels monotony in his current routine: "My post has been misinterpreted... That I am quitting or retiring from acting."
