After much anticipation, Shanaya Kapoor is ready to make her silver screen debut, joining her famous cousins Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, and Arjun Kapoor in Bollywood. Her first film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, starring opposite Vikrant Massey, is set to hit theatres next Friday, July 11.
A bold start with a surprising trailer
The recently released trailer, which runs for 2 minutes and 39 seconds, has taken fans by surprise. It opens with a dramatic scene where Shanaya and Vikrant are seen yelling before Shanaya’s character slaps him on a moving train. Vikrant plays Jahaan, a visually impaired musician, while Shanaya portrays Saba Shergill, a theater artist who wears a blindfold for most of the film.
Shanaya silences trolls with her performance
Though she was initially trolled when her debut was announced, Shanaya seems to have won many over with the trailer. Viewers have praised her clear diction, confident dialogue delivery, and expressive acting. While the chemistry between the leads hasn’t received glowing praise yet, Shanaya’s individual performance has sparked curiosity and optimism.
What’s next?
As Vikrant’s character asks in the trailer, “Gandhari ban ke kyun ghoom rahi ho?”, audiences are eager to discover the story behind Saba’s blindfold. The full picture will unfold on July 11, when Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan arrives in cinemas.
