The most awaited romantic film of the season – Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan – unveiled its heartwarming trailer in Mumbai today, marking a glittering debut for Shanaya Kapoor alongside the ever-versatile Vikrant Massey.
Presented by Zee Studios, Mini Films, and Open Window Films, the film is directed by Santosh Singh and is set for a nationwide theatrical release on July 11, 2025. The trailer launch event was graced by the star cast Shanaya Kapoor, Vikrant Massey, director Santosh Singh, and producers Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla.
The trailer reveals a visually poetic and emotionally stirring narrative, set primarily on a train journey — an unusual and unique love story where two characters find companionship, connection, and chemistry while blindfolded. Shanaya essays the role of Saba, a young woman seeking meaning and magic in love, while Vikrant plays Jahan, a soulful traveller whose path collides with hers.
The film promises to rekindle the fading belief in love among today’s youth — a theme that deeply resonates in these fast-paced, digitally detached times.
Shanaya Kapoor’s Dream Debut with Co-Star Vikrant Messy
Radiating confidence and charm, Shanaya Kapoor made a lasting impression at her first-ever press launch. Draped in a delicate saree, she looked every bit the star-in-the-making — a vision of grace, elegance, and understated glam. Her dewy skin, subtle makeup, and glowing presence were the perfect complement to her poised demeanor as she addressed the media.
Speaking at the event, Shanaya shared: “I hope Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan revives the belief in love. This film is about the journey of truly seeing someone — beyond appearances, beyond judgment. It’s a unique love story that spoke to my heart the moment I read the script.”
Her father Sanjay Kapoor was also present, visibly emotional and proud. “I’ve never been this nervous in my life — not even on my own debut,” he admitted, eyes glistening as he watched his daughter step into the limelight.
Co-Star Vikran Massey, known for his effortless charm and powerful performances, Vikrant Massey appeared in a clean-cut, debonair look that drew admiration from fans and the media alike. He praised Shanaya for her dedication and natural screen presence:
“Shanaya brings innocence and freshness to the screen. Working with her was a joy, and I believe audiences will feel the same magic we felt while filming.”
Director Santosh Singh & the Vision Behind the Film
Director Santosh Singh revealed that the inspiration behind the story was rooted in the simplicity of human connection. “We live in a world where we’re surrounded by noise and distractions. This film is about two people who truly see each other — without even looking.”
With its soulful music, stunning visuals, and a storyline that touches the heart, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is poised to be this year’s most talked-about romantic release. Shanaya Kapoor’s grand debut coupled with Vikrant Massey’s steady charm and Santosh Singh’s nuanced direction gives us every reason to look forward to July 11, 2025.
