Discussing his character Rishu in the film, Vikrant Massey mentioned that there could be a backstory explaining why his character willingly controls his violent tendencies. He then shared a personal experience and said, "This is my own life experience. I was doing karate, taekwondo⦠aggression aa gaya body mein. You felt invincible. School ke reccess mein tumne ek ladke ko tumne maar diya. Ek punch mara jaw pe. You did not know his medical background. He had epilepsy, started frothing. You saw this boy frothing in front of you losing consciousness. The older brother comes in, bats you left, right and centre. Ye sab breakdown bata rahu kuch seconds ka. Tumhe dard us waqt mehsoos nhi hua because tumhara darr ye tha ki woh mar na jaaye"
(I had aggression in my body. You hit someone in school during recess without knowing that he had epilepsy. This is the breakdown of a few seconds. You don't feel pain because you are scared whether the boy will die).
"Tumne karate chhor diya, tumne sab kuch chhor diya. Tumne ye realize kiya ki, âYou could also kill someone.' Uske baad tum jaha bhi gaye, unfortunately tum pit ke hi aaye. Tumne kabhi kisi pe haath nahi uthaya. Uske baad se maine aaj tak apni zindagi mein kisi pe haath nahi uthaya." he went on to add.
(You left karate. You realized you could kill someone. Wherever you went after that, you were always hit. But you never raised your hand. After that incident I have never raised my hand on anyone in my life)."

Meanwhile, Vikrant will be seen on the work front in his upcoming romantic thriller 'Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba', which also stars Taapsee Pannu and Sunny Kaushal. Apart from this, he is also set to feature in 'The Sabarmati Report' alongside Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra.
