“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,” Vikrant wrote.
Currently, Vikrant is working on two films, Yaar Jigri and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. Addressing these projects, he 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.” He signed off his message with “Forever indebted.”
The announcement left fans stunned, with many taking to the comments section to share their disbelief and urge the actor to reconsider.
One fan wrote, “Why would you do that? There are hardly any actors like you. We need some good cinema.” Another commented, “Suddenly? Is everything alright? That’s so surprising for the fans. We really like your acting and movies.”
