Shanaya Kapoor has officially stepped into the limelight with the release of her first look from her debut film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, in which she stars opposite the versatile Vikrant Massey.
In the newly unveiled poster, Shanaya stuns in a striking red dress featuring a thigh-high slit, exuding confidence and poise. She is seen holding hands with Vikrant Massey, who sports a laid-back look in casual trousers and a matching shacket. The pair are pictured sitting atop a coin-operated horse ride, evoking a blend of playfulness and nostalgic romance that hints at the tone of the upcoming film.
The film’s makers took to Instagram to reveal the poster and announced that the official teaser would drop tomorrow, June 5. The romantic drama is scheduled for a theatrical release on 11 July.
Shanaya’s family and friends were quick to flood the post with love. “God is kind,” wrote her father Sanjay Kapoor, while Maheep Kapoor expressed her emotions through a series of red heart emojis.
Shweta Bachchan Nanda chimed in with warm wishes, commenting, “I'm so excited for you, darling. All the best.” Shanaya’s close friend, Rasha Thadani, daughter of Raveena Tandon, added, “Yayyyy congratulations!”
Fans, too, shared their excitement. One user wrote, “AHHHH it's finally here!!!” while another called the moment “magical.” A comment that stood out read, “This poster represents a lot of dreams! Can’t fathom how magical the film’s going to be.”
However, the casting also drew some mixed reactions. A few netizens expressed concerns about the pairing, suggesting that Vikrant Massey appeared “least suited opposite Shanaya Kapoor,” with some highlighting the visible age gap. Others questioned Massey’s involvement given his earlier remarks about taking a step back from acting.
