Vidhu Vinod chopra’s 12th Fail, like the film’s protagonist, has triumphed against all odds. It is not a major moneyspinner. But it has made a decent profit and the film’s co-producers Zee Studios are looking at their third hit this year after Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway and Gadar: The Katha Continues.
The 12th Fail leading man Vikrant Massey has caught the eye of major filmmakers,and that includes Raj Kumar Hirani who is now planning to cast Massey in the lead with another hero, most probably Ranbir Kapoor in his next project, after his Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki releases in December.
Says a source close to the development, “Raju Hirani who is busy putting finishing touches to his Dunki took time off to see 12th Fail as it is his mentor Vinod Chopra’s film. Hirani was bowled over. He has penciled in Vikrant for his next directorial which he will start after Dunki is released.”
