Vikrant Massey's Haseen Dillruba co-star Harshvardhan Rane thinks retirement announcement is ‘PR activity’

Vikrant Massey plans to retire at 37, with his co-star Harshvardhan Rane hoping it’s a temporary decision influenced by filmmakers.

Vikrant Massey shocked everyone after he announced retirement from acting earlier today. However, the announcement came just before the release of his film, Zero Se Restart, and has raised speculation. Now, his Haseen Dillruba co-star Harshvardhan Rane has also wondered if it is 'PR activity'.

Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane starred in Haseen Dilruba.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Harshvardhan Rane reacted to Vikrant Massey's decision to retire from films at the age of 37 and said, "He is a man with a clear and centered thought process. I respect his work ethic and look up to his acting process on Haseen Dillruba’s shoot. Hope he gets back to making films like Aamir Khan sir also did after making a similar announcement. These are great artists, and our country needs their presence in our cinema. I’m praying this is just some PR activity forced on him by some filmmaker.”

For the unversed, Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane starred together in Netflix film Haseen Dillruba which also starred Taapsee Pannu in lead role. While the first part of the film was loved by the audience, the sequel, which also starred Jimmy Shergill, received mixed reviews.
