Vikrant Massey is making a return to the screen with "Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan," a romantic drama set to release on July 11, 2025. This film marks Shanaya Kapoor's Bollywood debut. Adapted from Ruskin Bond's short story "The Eyes Have It," the movie explores the relationship between a visually impaired musician, played by Massey, and a theatre artist, played by Kapoor.

Massey took a six-month break from acting to focus on his family and health. He emphasized that this break was not a retirement, but a necessary step to gain clarity in both his personal and professional life. During this time, he spent quality time with his one-year-old son, Vardaan. He also dedicated time to rewatching his previous films, analyzing his performances to identify areas for improvement. Massey felt he was becoming stagnant and repetitive in his roles and wanted to bring a fresh perspective to his future projects.

Massey stressed the importance of work-life balance, especially with family responsibilities. He expressed a desire to avoid shooting for extended periods to ensure fairness to his family. He aims to implement a healthy balance between his career and personal life.

In "Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan," Massey plays a visually impaired musician, a role that has profoundly impacted his understanding of those living with blindness. He admitted that he used to sympathize with visually impaired people but realized that this was not how they wanted to be treated. Spending time with them changed his perspective and deepened his respect for them.

The film explores themes of perception and human connection in the context of modern relationships. The trailer introduces Vikrant as Jahaan and Shanaya as Saba, and hints at a love triangle. The movie promises a blend of romance, mystery, and emotional intensity.

"Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan" is directed by Santosh Singh and written by Mansi Bagla. It is produced by Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla under Zee Studios and Mini Films. The music is composed by Vishal Mishra.
