Vikrant Massey Praises Farhan Akhtar

The Made In Heaven actor appreciated Farhan Akhtar by commenting, "I am really inspired by that man." He further said that while working with Farhan on the sets of Dil Dhadakne Do, Farhan wasn't in want of anything. He was a producer and co-writer, with his sister Zoya producing the film. Javed Akhtar, a renowned Bollywood lyricist, is his father.

Even then, whenever Farhan came to the set, he did not carry the script. He was already well versed in not just his dialogues, but the others' as well. He ended it by saying, "A man like Farhan Akhtar can do his homework and come. You should be ashamed."

While commenting on whether co-actors were ready on time for the shoot, he mentioned how some are more obsessed with making reels instead of reading scripts.


"We see it very often. Some actors even come on set, and their first priority is to make and upload reels. I won't drop their names, even though I might go viral for saying this. But that person knows, and that person got to know about it there and then, so my purpose was solved at that time. I say things on the face, and I don't have anything apart from my work," Massey further added.
