Vikrant Massey has stepped into a trans-formative new role as filming begins in Colombia for his upcoming project, White. In this international venture, he portrays spiritual leader and humanitarian Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, whose life and work inspired a movement of peace and compassion in one of the world’s most conflict-ridden regions.
Set against the turbulent backdrop of Colombia’s five-decade-long civil unrest, the film explores a story rooted in reality—where violence, broken peace accords, and immeasurable loss shaped a nation. White captures how one man’s unwavering vision and faith managed to ignite hope, bridging divides and inspiring change even in the darkest of times.
To embody such a layered character, Vikrant immersed himself in extensive research, delving deep into the life of the spiritual leader and the socio-political history of Colombia. Collaborating closely with the film’s director and writers in rigorous workshops, he worked to capture not just the mannerisms but the emotional core of the man he plays. This meticulous preparation promises a portrayal that blends authenticity with profound sensitivity.
Vikrant continues to cement his place as one of the industry’s most discerning performers. His choices reflect an appetite for narratives that resonate with truth and emotional depth, and White appears to be no exception.
