While speaking at the Times Network India Economic Conclave, Vikrant Massey explained about his decision to take a break from acting. The actor said that he felt the need to improve himself as an actor so he is worth people's money and time. "As an artist, I have been working for the past 21 years professionally. But after 12th Fail, it has really been remarkable. Just to put things into context, I put out that post at midnight because I was not able to sleep," he added.

A day after his shocking announcement about his acting break, Vikrant's film The Sabarmati Report was watched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his cabinet of ministers at Parliament. Talking about the same, Vikrant said, "I never thought this would happen in my life. I might be sounding borderline pompous but I am being as honest as I can. The kind of love and reception the film got, I was truly overwhelmed by it."
