About the film, he said that, "26/11 has been fixed in the minds of every Indian citizen as one of the most defying moments in the history of our nation.

He told us that before shooting this film, he had visited Taj and he says, "I have no words to say, though I was not able to go inside the Taj I can still feel sad for all the brave people who have laid their lives in this attack and last year when this incident happened I was not able to sleep for 3 days.I hope even our nation will love this movie.

More so, insiders say that the upcoming tele-film,
Un Hazaaron ke Naam, based on 26/11, will move people to tears. Vikrant Massey plays a waiter named Richard who works in The Oberoi. His performance has won him rave reviews. In fact, Seema Biswas, who plays his mother on-screen, told him she liked working with him and Vikrant was absolutely flattered.
When contacted, the shy and soft-spoken Vikrant Massey reluctantly confirmed the news. He told us, "It was an honour being complimented by stalwarts like Naseer Sir and Seemaji. I am here to be an actor; not a star and I love the work that I am doing and all the projects that are coming my way."
