12th Fail: Vikrant Massey gets warm welcome in Delhi as he kickstarts shooting for Vidhu Vinod Chopra's film

Vidhu Vinod Chopra's upcoming directorial production 12th Fail has already made news, and it has grabbed everyone's attention for being the first film that is shot in Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar, the hub of Hindi Medium UPSC Preparations. Inspired by real life, 12th Fail encapsulates the story of aspiring IAS and IPS students. 

With the zest to keep the film authentic, Vidhu Vinod Chopra decided to shoot the film in the real location itself. Mukherjee Nagar is indeed the perfect location to shoot the film as it is swarmed with real students, hanging banners of coaching classes and has seen the birth of generations of bureaucrats.

It turned out to be a thrilling moment for the fans in Mukherjee Nagar to have the lead, Vikrant Massey, in their midst. They went crazy watching him shoot in their area as a commoner amongst them. Vikrant greeted them with great love while the director, VVC, had to wiggle his way out through the bustling crowd after the shoot.

Before 12th Fail, Chopra's last directorial was the 2020 love drama Shikara. The film revolved around a couple who stood by each other in the tragic backdrop of the Kashmiri Pandits' exodus. Two years after Shikara, Vivek Agnihotri brought The Kashmir Files, and it went on to become the biggest blockbuster of the year.
