In an Instagram post, the 37-year-old actor thanked fans for their immense support over the years and hinted at a final project in 2025. “Hello,
The last few years and beyond have been phenomenal. I thank each and every one of you for your indelible support,” he wrote in the note.
“But as I move forward, I realise it's time to recalibrate and go back home. As a Husband, Father & a Son. And also as an Actor,” the 12th Fail actor added.
As per media reports, Vikrant is currently working on two films — Yaar Jigri and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. “So coming 2025, we will meet each other for one last time. Until time deems right,” he said.
