Vikrant Massey celebrates 33rd birthday in Coronavirus lockdown

Vikrant Massey, who is known for outshining his co-stars and delivering power-packed performances in a slew of movies and webseries, celebrates his 33rd birthday today on 3rd April, 2020. Since a bash is out of question during the countrywide lockdown, the actor celebrates his birthday with his mother, and fiancée Sheetal Thakur.

Talking to a tabloid, Vikrant says that he is celebrating his special day with family after several years. “I have been spending my birthday on the sets for the past six-seven years. Since 2018, I have mostly been out of the city, as most of my films have been shot outdoors. After two years, I am home for longer than a week,” he shares.


The actor, who lives with his fiancée Sheetal Thakur, adds, “I’ll cook pavbhaji. I have bought all its ingredients, and maybe kheer as well. But probably, my mother and Sheetal will end up doing all the cooking.”

While many celebrities are getting restless at home, Vikrant does not mind the lockdown imposed in the wake of the Coronavirus lockdown. “I am not constantly checking the clock to see how much time I have left. I am reading scripts and books at leisure, writing in my journal and doing the household chores,” he shares. The actor reveals that the lockdown is also giving Sheetal and him time to bond.

Last seen in Deepika Padukone’s critically acclaimed film Chhapaak (2020), Vikrant Massey has an interesting line-up of upcoming films. Some of his forthcoming projects include Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare, Ginny Weds Sunny and Haseen Dilruba.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
