In 2023, Vikrant Massey saw the biggest milestone of his career with the 12th Fail. Directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the movie was a sleeper hit and pulled the audiences into theatres like no other film of recent times. As much as people loved it, many viewers also hoped whether there will be a sequel of it. Vikrant Massey in a recent interview with India Today has shared if a plan like this exists.

Will there be a 12th Fail 2?

Asked if Massey is making conscious choices to avoid being stereotyped, the actor revealed, "Now, I'm getting a lot of calls, people are saying let's do another 12th Fail, but I'm making a conscious shift to pick something different." He acknowledged that when something works, people do want to see more of the same nature.

Vikrant Massey will be next seen in the sequel of Haseen Dillruba. Making mentions of the same, he said that the makers were able to pull off Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba because they left off the first part with the potential to explore what happens in all the character’s lives beyond the finale.

Coming back to 12th Fail, the 37-year-old said, "If I may say so, I really don't see a 12th Fail part two (happening). Do people want it? Yes. But is that the right thing? I mean, that is a collective decision that all of us have to take.” He said that going by what he has experienced so far, it is quite natural that people do expect him to do similar kinds of films that probably worked in his favour in past.
