Vikrant Massey is set to mark one of the most memorable milestones of his career as he receives the National Award for Best Actor for 12th Fail. The excitement around his big win is only growing stronger with each passing day.

Vikrant's performance


The actor will be felicitated with the prestigious Best Actor honour for his powerful performance as Manoj Kumar Sharma, a man who rose from humble beginnings to become an IPS officer. The recognition is not just a personal triumph for Vikrant but also a proud moment for everyone who connected with the film’s inspiring story. With this win, he has further cemented his place as one of the finest and best actors of this generation.



Special guest at the National Awards

Now, adding to the emotional value of the occasion, a source has revealed that Manoj Kumar Sharma, whose life inspired 12th Fail, could also be present at the ceremony. The possibility of Sharma being there adds an emotional layer to an already significant moment. After all, 12th Fail was more than just a film; it was a heartfelt retelling of Sharma’s extraordinary journey, brought alive on screen with authenticity and grace by Vikrant.

A source shared, “The film has always been about Manoj Kumar Sharma’s journey, and Vikrant shares a very special bond with him after portraying his life on screen. There’s a strong possibility that the two might attend the National Awards ceremony together, which would make the moment even more meaningful.”

The idea of watching the reel and real Manoj Kumar Sharma come together at Rashtrapati Bhavan makes the moment even more special. It would not only highlight Vikrant’s acting brilliance but also serve as a fitting tribute to the story of perseverance, resilience, and hope that the film so beautifully represents. For Vikrant, who is known to approach milestones with humility and deep respect, sharing this honour with Sharma would add even greater meaning to the achievement.

This full circle moment at the National Award ceremony is now shaping up to be a truly unforgettable evening — one that celebrates cinema, real-life heroism, and the bond between a story and the man who lived it.
