Vikrant Massey opened about playing a serial killer in his last film, Sector 36 and said that he tried not to bring his character home while he was working on the film. Directed by Aditya Nimbalkar, the film also stars Deepak Dobriyal, Ipshita Chakraborty, Akash Khurana, Darshan Jariwala and Baharul Islam in pivotal roles.

While speaking about his character in the film, Vikrant said in a recent interview, "I found that certain scenes presented an opportunity to showcase a different side of myself. While shooting those scenes, I often felt my hands and feet go cold, not due to lack of preparation but because of the emotional weight of the story I was telling. It really hits hard.”

Vikrant also shared how his past experiences helped him prepare for his role in the crime-thriller, “I am glad that my past experiences helped me prepare for Sector 36. In films like A Death In The Gunj and Love Hostel, my emotional and mental health took a toll. So, when I signed up for Sector 36, I told myself, ‘Vikrant, approach this character, Prem Singh, professionally. Work hard, but make sure you don’t get too engrossed into it. Your mental and emotional well-being will go for a toss,” Vikrant added.

He added, “Shooting away from home adds another layer of challenge. You are not returning to your family after a long day; instead, you are going back to a hotel, which can be daunting. There were moments on set when I felt genuinely scared. I wouldn’t say I was nervous, but I definitely felt that cold sensation in my hands and feet while filming. Which is why I was adamant about not bringing the character home with me.”

Sector 36 released on Netflix on September 13. Vikrant will be seen next in The Sabarmati Report.
