Before stepping into the limelight as an actor, the actress gained experience behind the camera as an assistant director on Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, featuring Janhvi Kapoor. While her much-anticipated Bollywood debut with Bedhadak, under Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, faced indefinite delays, she has now lined up multiple exciting projects.
Shanaya Kapoor is set to make her South Indian film debut with Vrushabha, a multilingual epic starring Mohanlal. The film, also featuring Zahrah S Khan and Roshann Meka, will be released in Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi on October 16. It is produced by AVS Studios, First Step Movies, and Balaji Telefilms.
Meanwhile, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, her Hindi film debut, is an adaptation of Ruskin Bond’s The Eyes Have It. Directed by Santosh Singh, known for Broken But Beautiful and Apharan, the film is penned by Niranjan Iyengar and Mansi Bagla. Produced under Mini Films by Mansi and Varun Bagla, this marks their second project with Vikrant Massey after Forensic.
Additionally, Shanaya is also a part of a Student of the Year web series backed by Dharma Productions, further expanding her presence in the industry.
