In what came as a shocking news for his fans, Massey, who had a successful film release last month with The Sabarmati Report, announced a break from films.

Taking a step back from films, Vikrant wrote in a note on Instagram that he will meet his fans for one last time in 2025 before he moves out of Mumbai.

He wrote, "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 its time to recalibrate and go back home. As a Husband, Father & a Son. And also as an Actor."
