Since the actor mentioned he wanted to “return home,” fans extended their support for Vikrant’s decision to spend time with his family. A user’s comment read, “We keep forgetting he has been acting for a long time. I remember him in kids shows when I was a teenager and I am mid 30s now. Good for him for prioritizing his family and most importantly parents.”
Vikrant debuted as an actor in 2007, when he was just 19.
Some fans also expressed their concerns, sensing something more than a usual retirement, since the decision came after the release of The Sabarmati Report. A Reddit user wrote, “There has got to be more than this. He just won’t retire. Him doing Sabarmati and then retiring.”
Some fans even speculated on the actor’s possible political entry since the film earned praise in political circles, including an endorsement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself. “He’s going to be in politics fo sho. It’s a bad move, and it’s too early for him. A year from now, nobody will remember him, but he seems like a delulu and has a false reality,” wrote one fan.
