- When asked about playing a quintessential hero in Bollywood, Vikrant says,
It was never my aspiration to be a quintessential hero. I keep telling myself that my performance alone should speak for me. With all due respect, I don’t think it matters to have eight-pack abs or 21-inch biceps. What matters is how closely you justify what is written on paper. And if people can connect with that, and if you’re able to get the right message across, that’s the biggest reward. It is very important to be socially and morally realistic and keep pace with the changing times.”
