Back in 2020, he once again gave a powerful performance in Alankrita Shrivastava's 'Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare', co-starring
Konkona Sen Sharma and Bhumi Pednekar.
His last professional association with Ektaa was for the 2024 political drama, 'The Sabarmati Report', where he played the protagonist Samar Kumar.
"From our first film your journey has always been inspiring and even today you continue to win our hearts.", Ektaa captioned the birthday post.
Additionally, marking his special day, Vikrant's better half, Sheetal Thakur, took to Instagram and penned a heartfelt note. She treated the netizens with a series of candid pictures of the actor.
The first image showed Vikrant holding his son, Vardaan. This was followed by the photo of Sheetal and Vikrant facing the camera together, flaunting their radiant smiles. The last pic in the post was from the birthday celebration, featuring a customized cake with 'Husband' and 'Dad' written on it.
Taking to her IG, Sheetal Thakur wrote, "Happy Birthday, my love. Celebrating the man, husband, and father that you are. Iād choose you again and again."

While I appreciate Vikrant's acting, I wish he'd do more mainstream films. He has so much potential but seems stuck in niche projects.

Lootera was such a beautiful film! Can't believe it's been over 10 years since Vikrant's debut. Time flies when you're watching great actors evolve.
