**Mumbai, India –** Actor Vikrant Massey, known for his roles in films like *12th Fail* and *The Sabarmati Report*, shocked fans Sunday night by announcing a break from acting. The news, shared via social media, has sent ripples through the industry and left fans both surprised and disappointed.

Massey’s post stated, “The past few years and the years following have been incredible. I thank you all for your consistent support, but as I move forward, I’ve realized it’s time to recalibrate and go back home. As a husband, father, son, and actor, I’ll see you all again in 2025.” The ambiguity of his statement has led to speculation about the length of his hiatus, with some believing it to be permanent.

The announcement has sparked widespread reactions. Fellow actors, including Medha Shankar (his co-star in *12th Fail*) and Akanksha Ranjan Kapoor, expressed surprise on social media. Fans have also voiced their disappointment and concern, questioning the reason behind the unexpected decision.

While Massey hasn’t publicly stated the reason for his break, his recent film, *The Sabarmati Report*, a controversial movie about the Godhra train burning and subsequent Gujarat riots, has been speculated as a contributing factor. Massey revealed receiving threats against himself and his nine-month-old child during the film’s promotion.

Massey’s career began with television roles in shows like *Dharam Veer*, *Balika Vadhu*, and *Qubool Hai* before his Bollywood debut in 2013 with *Lootera*. He gained significant recognition for his role in *12th Fail* and has also appeared in films like *Dil Dhadakne Do* and *Chhapaak*, as well as OTT projects like *Mirzapur* and *Made in Heaven*. *The Sabarmati Report* recently garnered praise, even receiving accolades from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
