Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor are set to star in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, a musical love story that marks Shanaya’s Bollywood debut. The film, written by Manasi Bagla and directed by Santosh Singh, is adapted from Ruskin Bond’s short story The Eyes Have It. It follows the romance between a visually impaired musician and a theatre artist, promising an emotional and fresh take on love.
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan FIRST Poster
The first poster of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan recently dropped, catching eyes instantly. It shows Vikrant and Shanaya sharing a tender moment on a carnival carousel. Vikrant wears a casual brown jacket, gently holding Shanaya’s hands, while Shanaya stuns in a red sequined dress with a thigh-high slit. Their chemistry looks natural and promising, sparking curiosity about their performance. The film features music by Vishal Mishra.
Sharing the poster, makers wrote, "Two hearts. One love. And countless Gustaakhiyan. Teaser Out Tomorrow!"
The film explores themes of perception, connection, and silent emotions, set against the whimsical backdrop of a carnival. It offers a new take on romance, balancing emotional moments with lightness.
However, the age gap between the leads (Vikrant is 38, Shanaya 25) has sparked some online debate. While some viewers noticed the difference, many are more focused on their on-screen dynamic. Shanaya’s parents, Maheep and Sanjay Kapoor are excited for her debut.
Produced by Manasi and Varun Bagla under Zee Studios and Mini Films, the film is scheduled for release on July 11, 2025.
