Renowned Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey will be gracing the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) with his presence this year. Known for his exceptional work in Hindi films and television, Massey has made a significant mark in the industry.
Vikrant Massey’s career took a pivotal turn with his leading role in the independent drama A Death in the Gunj (2017). Following this, he appeared in a string of successful films, including the biographical drama Chhapaak (2020), the romantic comedy Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare (2020), the mystery thriller Haseen Dillruba (2021), the family drama Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi (2021), and the romantic thriller Love Hostel (2022).
On the small screen, Massey has captivated audiences with his performances in the streaming series Mirzapur (2018), Broken But Beautiful (2018–2019), and Criminal Justice (2019). In 2023, he played the lead role of Manoj Kumar Sharma in the biographical film 12th Fail, which emerged as a sleeper hit and earned him the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor.
Presented by the Victorian Government, IFFM is an annual celebration of Indian cinema, promoting cultural exchange and showcasing the diversity of Indian films and digital series on an international stage. This year’s festival will run from 15 August to 25 August, with the prestigious IFFM 2024 Awards being announced at the annual gala night on 16 August at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
