Vikrant Massey on Farhan Akhtar
In an interview with Unfiltered by Samdish Bhatia, Vikrant Massey opened up about some unprofessional actors who focus on making reels on set instead of focusing on their job. He said, “We see it very often. Some actors come on set and their first priority is to make reels. I won’t drop their name but that person knows and that person got to know about it there and then so my purpose was solved at that time. I say things on the face and I don’t have anything apart from my work. I love my job and acting is everything for me.”
The 12th Fail actor gave an example of Farhan Akhtar and praised him. “I would like to take an example of Farhan Akhtar. I am really inspired by him. What does he not have in life? He is the son of Javed Akhtar."
Massey then recalled working with him on Zoya Akhtar's Dil Dhadakne Do. "On Dil Dhadakne Do set, he was acting, he was also the producer, his sister Zoya Akhtar was making the film, but when he would come for rehearsals, he never carried the script in his hand. He remembered all his lines and lines of other people. If a person like Farhan Akhtar can do his homework then you should be ashamed", he added.

(He is a very good friend of mine. He's doing good films, a good guy. Vicky and his family, his dad Sham Kaushal, even his brother Sunny Kaushal have struggled a lot and that is why they deserve every bit of what they have)".
