New Delhi: Vidhu Vinod Chopra's latest blockbuster release '12th Fail' has not only resonated with audiences, leaving an indelible mark of inspiration, but it has also stirred the emotions of its leading star, Vikrant Massey. The film's powerful message was successfully conveyed to viewers despite its intention to uplift and motivate.

Vikrant Massey's portrayal of real-life hero Manoj Kumar Sharma is a standout in the film. Massey, who played Sharma's character admirably, took to social media to express his gratitude. Massey referred to Manoj Kumar Sharma as his role model in a heartfelt post, demonstrating the profound impact the real-life inspiration had on the actor during the filmmaking process.

He wrote, "Sir, You are my hero. You are my idol. I was fortunate to have got the opportunity to portray the character of a simple and noble person like you on screen."
