Vidhu Vinod Chopra announces 12th Fail's prequel

Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who attended IIFA 2024 with his wife Anupama Chopra, announced his next film. He announced the prequel to Vikrant Massey’s 12th Fail, titled Zero Se Shuruwat. It is scheduled to be released on December 13 in theaters. 

The director shared that the cast will be the same for the prequel. He also revealed whether he would submit 12th Fail for the Oscars or not. 

He shared, "I am not an award fellow. I'm here at IIFA because of my wife, Anupama. I'm actually just accompanying her today. For me, the most important thing—the real award—is when you make a film and, after watching it, you can either say, 'Ah, I nailed it,' or admit, 'That didn't quite work.'"

When Vikrant Massey reacted to National Awards buzz regarding 12th Fail

In an earlier interview with Hindustan Times, 12th Fail star Vikrant Massey reacted to the National Awards buzz for his iconic performance in the film. 

The actor shared, "Let’s see. I don’t want to jinx it by talking about it too much." He also said that he felt honored to be considered for the award in an annual year where many performances stood out and were respected and people really thought of these performances as good performances.

"I think I’m already in a good club so I’m happy about that. As much as people are talking about me winning the National Award, there were some incredible performances last year. What Vicky (Kaushal) did in Sam Bahadur was phenomenal. What Fahadh (Faasil) did in Aavesham was as good as what Prithviraj did in Goat Life. I am glad to be considered with such fine actors," Vikrant said.
