Vikrant
Massey
is
currently
basking
in
the
overwhelmingly
positive
response
garnered
by
his
latest
release
Chapaak.
The
actor,
in
a
recent
interview,
shared
his
views
about
the
role
of
cinema
in
shaping
society.
Vikrant
said,
"Cinema
has
always
been
instrumental
in
shaping
society,
not
just
in
India
but
all
over
the
world.
Even
in
the
West,
cinema
played
a
huge
part
in
ushering
revolution
and
initiating
conversations
among
people.
When
I
say
revolution,
I
am
not
saying
that
after
watching
films
people
will
take
to
the
streets
and
start
chanting
slogans.
The
very
idea
of
taking
up
a
topic
can
lead
to
a
revolution,
and
cinema
has
the
power
to
do
so."
He
went
on
to
add,
"Having
said
that,
I
know
that
the
crime
rate
is
high
and
I
do
not
have
a
solution
as
an
actor.
I
do
think
people
these
days
are
ridden
with
angst.
For
example,
when
I
drive
I
just
see
a
certain
rage
on
the
roads
--
people
honk
even
if
they
see
the
signal.
People
don't
think
twice
before
using
abusive
word."
The
actor
also
spoke
about
his
career
trajectory
and
the
kind
of
roles
he
would
like
to
do.
"I
left
television
consciously
after
10
years
because
I
wanted
to
give
myself
a
chance
to
step
into
the
world
of
cinema.
I
want
every
role
of
mine
in
films
to
be
different.
I
have
given
myself
10
years
in
cinema
to
achieve
more
than
what
I
did
in
TV.
It
has
been
six
years
in
Bollywood
and
I
have
four
more
years
to
go,"
said
Vikrant.
The
actor
has
a
bunch
of
interesting
projects
in
the
pipeline
namely
Ramprasad
Ki
Tehrvi,
Dolly
Kitty
Aur
Woh
Chamakte
Sitare,
Cargo,
Ginny
Weds
Sunny
and
Haseen
Dilruba.
