Mumbai, Maharashtra: Actors Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor recently spoke about their upcoming film Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan in an exclusive interview with IANS. The film is a romantic drama that will be released in theaters on July 11, 2025. Vikrant is playing the role of a businessman named Aarav in it. Vikrant and Shanaya told that shooting for this film was quite difficult as many scenes were shot in a short time at complex locations. Both also said that whether the medium of acting is film, OTT or TV, just dedication and passion should always be the same.

01:39for the last
01:39he has always been a very good actor
01:41lekin pishle paan saal mein jitna
01:42in ko notice kiya gaya hai
01:43so
01:44how much have you learned from him
01:46you know
01:47while shooting
01:48on the set
01:48agar mein acting ke baad karo to
01:50uh

01:52um
01:53no genuinely baut kuch seekhne ko mila
01:55and I
01:56um
01:56I think the
01:57the first thing that I
01:58really learnt
02:00um
02:00from Vikrant
02:01you know
02:02as a
02:02as a human being
02:03he is a very generous person
02:05and I think
02:06uh
02:06woh on ke kaam mein baut hi reflect karta hai
02:08kyunki he
02:09he is a very giving actor
02:10and I think
02:10woh ek baut hi badi cheeze hai
02:12um
02:13when you are
02:14as an actor
02:15kabhi kabhi
02:15aap khali aapne baare mein hi soochta ho
02:17or aapne lines ke baare mein soochta ho
02:19aapke costume ke baare soochta ho
02:21aapke kirdar ke baare mein soochta ho
02:23but I think
02:24um
02:24he
02:25he taught me this
02:26which I will hopefully
02:27you know
02:28I have a
02:28fingers crossed
02:29I hopefully
02:30I want to have a
02:31very long career ahead
02:32and I am going to take this
02:33learning from him
02:34is that you have to be
02:35a very giving actor
02:36um
02:36you have to think about
02:37the scene as a whole
02:38you cannot keep thinking
02:39only about yourself
02:41um
02:41and I think
02:42Vikrant ne
02:43mujhe baut
02:44um
02:45um
02:46baut kuch seekhne ko mela
02:48but more than that
02:49he he made me feel
02:49kari comfortable
02:50aise nahi kabhi
02:51mai kabhi aise feel nahi kari thi ki
02:53I am a new student
02:55and he is this
02:56um
02:56seasoned actor
02:57yes
02:58an incredible actor
02:59more than anything else
03:00and I think
03:01um

03:02it's
03:03it's
03:03it's
03:04it's
03:04incredible

03:05um
03:06he didn't have to do that for me
03:08but he did
03:08he gave me a sense of calmness
03:10and
03:11he
03:11he just made me feel

17:58when
17:59Mansi
17:59and
17:59Varun
18:00the
18:00producers
18:00of our
18:01short
18:02story
18:03of
18:03rights
18:03acquired
18:03that I was going to become a part of this film and I was very excited.
18:07But the adaptation of this film also has been done very beautifully.
18:10Mansi, who is our writer, she is the co-writer of the film,
18:14with the director Santosh Singh, the adaptation of this film is also very beautiful.
18:18And the first question of your question is that a lot of time after a film is coming
18:25from this film is the classic, our staple, you can say,
18:29classic Indian romance.
18:31Bollywood romantic film, romantic drama,
18:34so it looks good.
18:36But there is also a fear, nervousness,
18:39nervousness,
18:40that the audience has changed.
18:44The audience has changed,
18:46that our staple, the classical Bollywood film,
18:49they will see it or not,
18:51the response is good.
18:52The songs have loved it.
18:54So, I hope that the film will also like it.
18:56Because it's absolutely true,
18:57it's a very beautiful film.
18:58You can go to the whole family,
19:01go to the cinema,
19:02there are good actors,
19:03there are good actors,
19:05there are good crew with it.
19:07We have made a beautiful film.
19:09And the love is universal.
19:13You know, hope and love are two universal emotions
19:16which bind us all together.
19:18This is such a film.
19:20So, I hope that people will like it.
19:22You have worked with Mansi Ji,
19:25second time.
19:26So, how was your experience working with us?
19:28It was lovely.
19:29In the first time,
19:30it was very fun to work with them.
19:33There are many new age producers.
19:36But at the same time,
19:37at the heart,
19:38Mansi especially is a very old school Bollywood fan.
19:41Classic Bollywood fan.
19:42She loves love stories.
19:44She loves, you know, romance.
19:46She loves,
19:47that when it comes to love,
19:49the wind is coming,
19:51the hair is coming,
19:52the hair is coming,
19:53the hair is coming,
19:54the hair is coming,
19:55the hair is coming,
19:56the hair is coming.
19:57The hair is coming.
19:58Those little moments which we have all grown up seeing.
20:00But this is fact,
20:01don't you think?
20:02Emotion,
20:03just that,
20:04I don't know,
20:05why things have changed in Indian cinema.
20:07I don't know,
20:08are we copying West blindly?
20:10Because,
20:11as I said,
20:12at the heart of it,
20:13we are all same.
20:14I mean,
20:15you need to make a film.
20:16Yes, yes, yes.
20:17This is true.
20:18If we are in Vishwa's biggest film industry,
20:20if we make a film of 1800-2000 films,
20:22if we make a film of 1800-2000 films,
20:23this I agree.
20:24All kinds of stories.
20:25You need to speak all kinds of stories.
20:26But yes,
20:27this is true,
20:28that after a very long time,
20:29there is a romantic film.
20:30So,
20:31you need to make a film like that.
20:32Okay,
20:33we have just a few minutes left.
20:35So, Vikram,
20:36I would like to go.
20:37Some time before,
20:38you had a declaration,
20:40that you were planning to retire.
20:43You have told me,
20:44it has been misinterpreted.
20:48What is your status now?
20:50How many films are you doing?
20:52And who are coming?
20:55I wanted to take a break.
20:58And,
20:59I am happy that I have finally taken a break.
21:02In that post,
21:03I have also said that
21:04I am shooting two films this year.
21:06So,
21:07I was the first film I shot after that declaration.
21:11In 2025.
21:12There is another film that I start shooting for,
21:14which is,
21:15Shri Shri Ravi Shankar Ji ki jo
21:17kaani hai.
21:18Un ki life ka ek bhouti ahem chapter hai,
21:21jis ko hum logoon tak pehunchana chahte hai.
21:23To,
21:24wo us ki shooting mein agasht se shuruo kar raha hoon.
21:26And,
21:27these are the two films that I spoke of then,
21:29and they continue to be the same films that I am shooting this year.
21:32But,
21:33when you do this kind of film,
21:34like,
21:35to what I understand ki,
21:36ek,
21:37love story hai,
21:38us mein,
21:39you are not playing,
21:40uh,
21:41it's not a biopic, right?
21:42But,
21:43Shri Shri Ravi Shankar is a biopic,
21:44to us mein,
21:45thoda prep mein time jata hai,
21:47kaafi jata hai vakt.
21:48To,
21:49is it going to take your,
21:50like,
21:51is it taking too long,
21:52is saal kya pura ap us mein busy raheng hai?
21:54Shayad.
21:55Uhum.
21:56Or,
21:57wo alag-alag,
21:58tariqa hota hai prep karne ka,
21:59different films demand different things out of you.
22:01Uh,
22:02to,
22:03mein unke saath kuch samayi bita ke bhi aya hoon.
22:05I am sorry.
22:06Mein dubara unse milne ja raha hoon.
22:08Uh,
22:09I want to,
22:10I want,
22:11there are impossible shoes to fill.
22:13I can only try.
22:14Because,
22:15I believe in the story,
22:16and,
22:17and the purpose behind the story.
22:18So,
22:19ya,
22:20samayi lagta hai,
22:21things take time.
22:22So,
22:23I am going to prepare for that film.
22:24Yeah.
22:25And,
22:26before we wrap,
22:27I would like to know about your,
22:28upcoming projects.
22:29Aakhon ke Gustankhya ke alawa.
22:31Um,
22:32Aakhon ke Gustankhya ke alawa.
22:33Um,
22:34fortunately,
22:35uh,
22:36right before,
22:37humne,
22:38jab,
22:39actually film khatam ki thi,
22:40to mein ek audition ke liye gai thi,
22:41tuya mein ke liye,
22:42with Mukesh sir.
22:43And,
22:44uh,
22:45luckily,
22:46Anand sir has liked that,
22:47uh,
22:48audition,
22:49and we,
22:50started working on the film.
22:51Uh,
22:52humne,
22:53actually,
22:54do din peale prep bhi shuru ki hai.
22:55Um,
22:56july ko,
22:57shooting shuru karenge.
22:58And,
22:59I think next year,
23:00during valentine's day,
23:01we will see,
23:02uh,
23:03survival thriller,
23:04uh,
23:05film.
23:06uh,
23:07uh,
23:08love story bhi hai us mein,
23:09but, uh,
23:10uh,
23:11the genre is survival thriller.
23:12uh,
23:14uh,
23:15uh,
23:16uh,
23:17uh,
23:18uh,
23:19a lot,
23:20but, uh,
23:21uh,
23:22uh,
23:23uh,
23:24uh,
23:25uh,
23:26uh,
23:27uh,
23:28uh,
23:29Okay, but if I do maths, there are 365 days in one year, even if you do three films, it
23:39will take like what, 200 days, you will still have 100% days, so why less films Vikrant?
23:45Yeah, because I want to give some time to my home, and I don't want to give it to me, I
23:54think I want to better myself as an actor.
23:58And I feel, or I have come to this realization that the more I prepare, the better I get.
24:04So I want to give my preparation more time than execution, because execution is so much
24:09than 55 days, and unfortunately, because of prior commitments, you don't prepare much
24:14as much as you want, so sometimes you get a month for prep, I don't want to do that.
24:20I want to be worth your time and money, I want to better myself as an actor, so that's
24:25a big part.
24:26Yeah, and I think it's all about quality more than quantity, I think when you prep, I think
24:33the quality of your work, of course, will get better, because you give time to your script
24:37and character.
24:39So I think just spending quality time with yourself also, as an individual, your character
24:46and script, and then executing even just one film is better than doing many and just
24:52going through it.
24:53Absolutely.
24:54And as I said, lastly, as I said, because the kind of films I do, they are not those films
24:58which are 1500 shooting days.
24:59You know, nobody is investing that much money on me.
25:01Now, 1500 to anyone?
25:02No, there are a lot of people.
25:03There are a lot of people who have high-budget films that have 150 shooting days which are split
25:05over a year.
25:06There are a lot of people who have a lot of films.
25:07The maximum time that I get to execute is 50-55 days.
25:08So, I realized that that 50-50 days I get to execute, and I don't have enough prep for
25:13one month.
25:14So, I have to prep more.
25:15Thank you so much for talking to you.
25:16Thank you so much.
25:17Thank you so much.
25:18Lovely chatting with you.
25:28Thank you so much.
25:31So much.
