Her mother, Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives stars Maheep Kapoor, who has often expressed how worried she is about her daughter’s debut film, wished her luck by posting multiple red heart and evil eyes emojis.
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is touted to be a musical drama, based on Ruskin Bond’s short story titled The Eyes Have It. As per a Peeping Moon report, Shanaya will portray a theatre artist, while Vikrant will play a blind musician. The film’s storyline is expected to explore the intricacies of human connection such as compassion, resilience, independence, desire and self-belief.
The film is helmed by Santosh Singh, known for his projects such as Broken But Beautiful and Apharan. The film is written by acclaimed writers like Niranjan Iyengar and Mansi Bagla. Backed by Mansi and Varun Bagla’s Mini Films, Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan marks their second collaboration with Vikrant after the remake of Forensic.
For the unversed, Shanaya was earlier announced to debut with Karan Johar’s Dharma-backed film, Bedhadak, co-starring Kill lead Lakshya and Call Me Bae actor Gurfateh Parizada. However, the project was reportedly shelved due to reasons best known to the makers. Apart from this, she has been reportedly roped in for Student of the Year web series, backed by Dharma Productions. She will also make her South debut with Mohanlal’s big-budget film, Vrusshabha.
