12th Fail teaser: Vikrant Massey is a UPSC aspirant in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's hard-hitting directorial

12th Fail starring Vikrant Massey is an upcoming drama film, based on the real-life events of the incredible journey of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma and IRS officer Shraddha Joshi. Inspired by Anurag Pathak's best-selling novel, the forthcoming flick is directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The makers have dropped the teaser that sees the chaos and drama in UPSC students' lives.

The teaser begins with showcasing the narrow streets of Mukherji Nagar, Delhi packed with UPSC aspirants. The video displays a jam-packed classroom, where a teacher lectures about being an IAS and tries to inspire young students. Shot in a real location, the video further showcases the struggle of multiple students including Massey, who fails his first attempt at cracking the exam, while one of his fellow mates asks him to restart.
