Adaptation of a Classic Ruskin Bond Story

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is based on Ruskin Bond’s cherished short story The Eyes Have It. The film’s plot revolves around Vikrant Massey’s character, a blind musician, and Shanaya Kapoor, who portrays a theatre artist. The unique premise, combined with the depth of Bond’s storytelling, is expected to make for an emotionally rich cinematic experience.

The script has been penned by renowned writers Niranjan Iyengar and Mansi Bagla. The film is produced under Mansi and Varun Bagla’s Mini Films, marking their second collaboration with Vikrant Massey after the Forensic remake.

Expected Release and Future Projects

Shooting for Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan began in Mussoorie in October 2024, and the film is slated for a mid-2025 release. While fans eagerly await this film, Shanaya Kapoor is also set to appear in Dharma Productions’ upcoming web series Student of the Year.

Meanwhile, Vikrant Massey is working on an untitled web series under Rajkumar Hirani’s direction. Though details about this project remain under wraps, it is expected to bring another compelling performance from the talented actor.

With a promising storyline and a fresh pairing, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is set to be a must-watch in 2025.
