Vikrant Massey opens up on receiving threats

Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar in a promotional event, Massey shared that he has been receiving threats on social media targeting his nine-month-old son. He stated, "Mujhe mere social media, Whatsapp pe threat aa rahe hai. Yeh log jante hai ki mein 9 months pehele, ek bacche ka pita bana hu. Mera baccha jo theek se chal bhi nahi pata, uska naam bich mein liya ja raha hai. Uski suraksha ke liye mujhe chinta mein daala ja raha hai. Hum kis samaj mein jee rahe hai? Afsos hota hai, dar nahi lagta. Agar dar lagta toh hum yeh film banake, bahar laate hi nahi."

("I am being threatened on my social media, WhatsApp. These people know that I became the father of a child nine months ago. My child, who has not even started walking, has been dragged. I am worried about his safety. What society are we living in? I feel regret, but I am not scared. If we were scared, then this film would have never been released.")

The Sabarmati Report received a positive review so far

Vikrant Messy further shared that while the entire world is aware of what happened on February 28, not much is revealed about the events of the day before, February 27.
