In an unexpected turn of events, Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram stories to shower praise on actor Vikrant Massey, commending his exceptional performance in the film “12th Fail.” This commendation comes years after Kangana had referred to Vikrant as a ‘cockroach’ in a social media exchange.
Sharing a poster of the film, Kangana expressed her admiration, stating, “What a terrific film. Coming from Hindi medium myself… I was weeping throughout the film.” The movie, helmed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, revolves around UPSC aspirants and delves into the real-life struggles faced by students attempting the UPSC entrance exam.
In another story, Kangana continued her praise, declaring Vikrant Massey as “beyond amazing” and foreseeing that he might fill the void left by the late Irrfan Khan in the coming years. She also lauded filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, expressing that he had won her heart once again.
The film “12th Fail” showcases the journey of Manoj Kumar Sharma, portrayed by Vikrant Massey, who overcame poverty to become an IPS officer. The storyline sheds light on the challenges faced by UPSC aspirants and has resonated strongly with Kangana, prompting her rare acknowledgment of Vikrant’s talent.
This positive recognition contrasts with the past when Kangana, in 2021, had called Vikrant a ‘cockroach’ following a playful comment he made on Yami Gautam’s wedding photos. Vikrant, in response to Kangana’s past remarks, had expressed his commitment to avoiding toxicity and negativity.
Kangana, who is set to portray former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in her upcoming film “Emergency,” seems to have turned over a new leaf with her recent appreciation for Vikrant Massey’s performance in “12th Fail.”
