Vikrant Massey’s hit drama, ‘12th Fail’ is all set to release in China. The lead actors of the film, Vikrant and Medha Shankr are “excited and looking forward” to the same. In an exclusive interview with India Today, Vikrant said it is too soon to say if he will travel to China for promotions. “It is too soon to talk about that, but I am really excited because, after a long time, something like this has happened,” Vikrant said.
Earlier, Aamir Khan had traveled to China to promote his film ‘Dangal’. His 2009 film ‘3 Idiots’ also had a huge market in the country. Vikrant also shared that the makers of ’12th Fail’ had been working towards its China release for some time now. He also shared that the film will be released in over 20,000 screens in China.
He said, “It has been in the works for a few months, but finally the news is out, and everyone knows that the film is releasing in China. There is a huge demand for Hindi cinema or Indian cinema in China. There are more than 20,000 screens [given to ‘12th Fail’]. China really caters to the entertainment sector and hence the numbers [of screens].”
’12th Fail’, co-produced and directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, received a positive response from critics and audiences alike. The film completed 25 weeks in theatres last week and continues to receive love and adulation. The film is based on a 2019 book of the same name, depicting the early life and struggles of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma.
