Nearly 10 months after this exchange, Vikrant has announced his break from Bollywood. In his heartfelt post, Vikrant wrote, “Hello, 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. 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. Forever indebted."
Vikrant’s retirement comes on the heels of his recent successes. Just last year, he delivered a critically acclaimed performance in 12th Fail, portraying IPS Manoj Kumar Sharma. His August release, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, saw him reprise his role as Rishu with greater intensity. His latest outing, The Sabarmati Report, has been widely lauded, even earning praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Vikrant’s latest film, The Sabarmati Report, was also screened at IFFI and has been declared tax-free in several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh. With such a promising trajectory, Vikrant’s announcement has undoubtedly left a void in the hearts of his fans. As he prepares to bid farewell to acting after his two remaining films in 2025, many are left hoping that this is not a permanent goodbye but a temporary pause in a prolific career.
