Vikrant on being affected by negative reviews

Vikrant Massey

, who is all set to come up with his upcoming film 12th Fail, recently opened up about being affected by

negative reviews

received for his past two releases -

Gaslight

alongside Sara Ali Khan and

Mumbaikar

with

Vijay Sethupathi

.
He told News 18 that there are moments when such negative response from audiences does bother him but there are also times when people react in a certain way because those films deserve to receive that kind of a response.

With time, Vikrant has learned that the success of a movie is not something that actors can control and that he can do only so much. He now focuses on the positive aspects and realised that mixed reactions implies that some people have liked a film and some didn’t.

He now understands that the way audience responds to a project could vary widely but it is important to take those reactions in a good-natured way and not let it affect you too much.
Meanwhile, 12th Fail is based on Anurag Pathak's best-selling novel, about the incredible journey of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma and IRS officer Shraddha Joshi. The film is also inspired by millions of true stories of students attempting the world's toughest competitive exam - UPSC. It is set to release worldwide on October 27 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
