'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' To Premiere On ZEE5 Global On September 5

The upcoming release Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan promises to captivate audiences worldwide with its mix of romance and comedy. Directed by Santosh Singh and produced by Mini Films, the film draws inspiration from Ruskin Bond's The Eyes Have It.

It weaves a tale of love and dreams through the lives of Jahaan, a talented blind musician portrayed by Vikrant Massey, and Saba, an ambitious aspiring actress played by Shanaya Kapoor in her debut role. Their serendipitous encounter on a train marks the beginning of a unique relationship, rooted in mutual aspirations and emotional connections rather than physical sight.

Set to premiere globally on ZEE5 Global on September 5, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan stands out as a testament to love's ability to transcend the physical realm. It spotlights the invisible ties that bind people together, underscored by a compelling soundtrack featuring Vishal Mishra, Jubin Nautiyal, and Asees Kaur.

Kaveri Das, Business Head at Hindi ZEE5, said, "At ZEE5 Global, we're committed to bringing emotionally rich and refreshingly unconventional stories to our audiences. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is a timely addition - a heartfelt rom-com that offers a fresh take on love and human connection. With Vikrant Massey's sensitive performance and Shanaya Kapoor's charming debut, the film delivers both depth and warmth. Their chemistry, paired with soulful music offers a story best experienced not just through the eyes, but through the heart - dil se dekho."

Vikrant Massey shared insights into his experience portraying Jahaan, highlighting the character's profound way of perceiving the world despite his blindness. "Playing Jahaan in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan has been one of the most enriching experiences of my career. He may not see the world like others do, but he feels it with rare depth and that really moved me. There's a quiet strength and vulnerability in him that stayed with me.

"Working with Shanaya was effortless; our bond brought a natural honesty to Jahaan and Saba's story. At its heart, this film is a reminder that love isn't about appearances; it's about connection, compassion, and courage."

Shanaya Kapoor also reflected on her debut role as Saba, acknowledging the challenges and rewards of portraying an independent and passionate character. "When Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan came to me, it felt like the right story to begin my journey with. Playing Saba — an aspiring, fearless artist navigating her own path was both challenging and rewarding.

"I connected deeply with her passion and individuality. Vikrant Massey's support and generosity on set made it easier to bring Saba to life."
