Mumbai, Oct 4 : Actor Vikrant Massey, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming film ’12th Fail’, shared how he achieved the tan look for his character of an IPS aspirant in the film.

The recently released trailer of the film received a lot of positive response for stitching a compelling narrative but what intrigued the viewers most is Vikrant’s tan look.
While it may seem that the look was achieved through the use of a bronzer, Vikrant revealed that it is a completely natural look that he achieved by regularly exposing his skin to the sun.
Talking about the same, Vikrant said: “I did a lot of intense prep to ensure that my dialect and look, particularly, were true to a man who has grown up in Chambal.What looks like a tan is actually real sunburn.”
The actor further mentioned: “I would apply oil and sit on the terrace for 2-3 hours.At one point, my skin actually started peeling off! All this was to ensure that the authenticity of the film, of the character is respected throughout.
”
The trailer features Vikrant in the lead and has glimpses of the protagonist’s journey from a small village in Chambal to the bustling nerve-centre of UPSC preparation in Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar.
