He was always an observer, and watching and studying human life and emotions , always fantasized him. That’s the reason which prompted him to take up journalism when he was still in college. Sports and extra curricular activities were other field of interest for this young Director. His family wanted him to go to either U.S or Canada after his studies, but Vikkas’s destiny had something else instored. He was always passionate about films, and loved watching Mumbai city thru films. He always wanted to visit Mumbai but couldn’t plan the trip as he was engrossed in a lot of things. Then suddenly there was an opportunity which came by chance, a friend had some official work , and Vikkas thought that it was a good opportunity to do a race of the great city. He says that when he landed in Mumbai, he had this sudden rush inside him, and something told him that this is the place where he really belonged. He decided to stay here forever. However his family and friends thought that he is simply in awe of the big city and the hardships and struggle for survival will soon melt him down. But as we say fortune favors’ the brave. He went around to meet directors so he could get a chance to assist them. Easier said then done. He however was lucky or maybe his talent was recognized soon. Anubhav sinha was looking for young dynamic and hardworking assistants. Vikkas met him by accident, and went on to assist him in two of his major films namely DUS and TATHASTU. Being a director is not easy and demands a huge physical and mental hardships. But he went on very patiently about his job, and educated himself very practically. It was a very grueling phase of his life as go to sleep only for 4 hrs max. After the films got released, he had a lot of options, many big production houses and Directors wanted him to assist them, but by them he had already dreamt of making films, with his own creativity and name. Once again it sounds simple and takes a lot of conviction to be an independent director. He started by doing punjabi and Hindi Music albums. His album with Raj Brar and Honey singh is hit to the core.
He has also directed a couple of promotional or “Item numbers” for films. The promotional song of the sequel of Tom Dick and Harry is directed by him. After the rave reviews the producer asked him to direct other two songs of the film as well. The film boasts of stars like Aryaman, Suresh menon, Mika etc….
They are played in discos and pubs all over the country and also in the U.K disc circles (List of songs are down below). He is now full of confidence which he has acquired with a lot of hard work and patience. He is now restless and raring to go one step ahead and makes films which is close to his heart. Under the name of Dutt Films he has opened his own production house and has a couple of interesting scripts.
God-willing, if things goes as per plan, he will start making his first film very soon. Also he was awarded the prestigious the most upcoming director award by the All India Human rights. Wishing Mr. Vikkas Dutt all the best, and may God reward him for his persistent hard work.
