Vikrant claimed that the effects of colonization persisted even after hundreds of years of colonization when marketing his next movie, "The Sabarmati Report." He went on to say that Hindus in this nation are now at last able to assert their identity. Vikrant's remarks have elicited a range of responses on social media. "Vikrant is just another artist who will say anything for a hit," one person said.
Vikrant was commended by another user who said, "At last, an actor who isn't afraid to tell the truth." The country's profound socioeconomic and political division is reflected in the continued division on social media around this issue. Some have referred to Massey's remarks as the truth, while others have accused him of using them to advertise his next movie.
