An FIR has been lodged at Kotwali police station in Dehradun against the producers of Vikrant Massey-Shanaya Kapoor starrer Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan – Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla – by Aarushi Nishank, daughter of former Uttarakhand CM and ex-minister for human resource development in the Narendra Modi cabinet, Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank. Aarushi alleged that she was cheated by the accused of Rs. 4 crores after being promised a role in the upcoming Bollywood movie.

The complaint states that Aarushi Nishank met Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla and they asked her to invest Rs. 5 crores in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. In return, they promised her a significant role in the film and also a profit. Accordingly, on October 9, 2024, a MOU was signed between Aarushi’s company Himshree Films and Mini Films, run by Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla. Aarushi then paid Rs. 2 crores on October 10, Rs. 25 lakhs on October 27, Rs. 75 lakhs on October 30 and Rs. 1 crore on November 1.

Aarushi further claimed in the complaint that she was assured of 20% profit from the film and that the estimated returns were expected to be Rs. 15 crores. She was also promised a say in her role in the script with a clause that if she was dissatisfied, she would be refunded the money with 15% annual interest.

On February 5, she found out that the shoot of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan was completed and another actor was cast for her role. She also alleged that in December, she had attended an event of the film in Dehradun where the film’s team met Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami; she claimed that the makers published a manipulated photograph on their company's official page, excluding her from it.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
