Vidhu will attend the screening of ‘12th Fail’ on January 11 in Macau, which is based on Anurag Pathak’s best-selling novel about the real-life story of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma.
The movie is inspired by real-life stories and delves into the relentless struggles of millions of students attempting the UPSC entrance exam.
Apart from covering exam preparations, the movie also covers the struggles of all the aspirants, exploring the many personal problems that aspiring students face both at home as well as in their relationships during exam studies.
This causes a lot of emotional problems for the students who more often than not end up quitting or entering a massive depression.
Ultimately a story of resilience, perseverance, and never giving up, ‘12th Fail’ stars Vikrant in the lead role, alongside Medha Shankar, Anant V Joshi, Anshumaan Pushkar, and Priyanshu Chatterjee in pivotal roles.
In November 2023, the movie was also submitted to the Oscars as an independent nomination.
