Anurag Kashyap's intense crime drama 'Nishaanchi' set for Sep 19 premiere
Mumbai, June 17 (UNI) "Nishaanchi", a brooding crime drama directed by Anurag Kashyap, is set to premiere in cinemas on September 19.
Kashyap disclosed that the script for the film was written in 2016. Since then, he has been looking to make the film "the way it should be", and was looking for a studio which would trust him to do that.
"Amazon MGM loved it, believed in it, and became the wall behind us. This is exactly what happened with all my films that people love – they were backed by great producers and great studios," he said.
At the heart of the narrative lie two brothers whose divergent paths expose them to the raw edges of love, betrayal, guilt and survival.
'Nishaanchi' is a story full of raw human emotions, love, lust, power, crime and punishment, betrayal, redemption and the consequences of it all. I have been extremely fortunate to find a bunch of good people and superb actors and my most beautiful crew to tell this story in the best possible way that I would have wanted," said Kashyap.
Produced under the banner of Jar Pictures in association with Flip Films, the film is backed by by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh.

The film, a dramatic tale of two brothers, is set to release on September 19, promising an action-packed entertainer. A new face is set to make a splash in Bollywood, and it's one with a powerful legacy. Aaishvary Thackeray—grandson of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray—is all set to make his acting debut in Anurag Kashyap 's Nishaanchi. From politics to the big screen, his journey promises to be one to watch. A Political Legacy Steps Into the Spotlight Aaishvary comes from a prominent political lineage as the son of Smita Thackeray and Jaidev Thackeray, and the grandson of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray . Recently, he offered a glimpse into his personal life by sharing a throwback photo on Instagram, showing his grandfather lovingly holding him as a baby, captioned with a heart emoji. Behind the Scenes to Centre Stage He has reportedly spent the past five years rigorously training for his big-screen debut. His journey into the world of cinema began behind the scenes, when he worked as an assistant director on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani in 2015. He is now set to make his acting debut with Nishaanchi. Aaishvary maintains a notably low profile on social media, with just around 11,000 followers on Instagram and only five posts. His feed includes a nostalgic photo with his grandfather Bal Thackeray, a couple of profile shots, and the official announcement of his debut film Nishaanchi. Despite maintaining a low profile online, the young lad has been tagged in several videos that highlight his impressive dancing skills, offering a glimpse of his versatility and talent beyond his upcoming debut in Nishaanchi.

In 2021, rumours linked him to actress Alaya F after the two were seen partying together. However, Alaya dismissed the buzz, clarifying that they were just good friends. Aaishvary also shares a close bond with Ahaan Panday and is frequently spotted hanging out with him at social gatherings. Aaishvary's social media presence reflects his passion for travel, with his feed featuring glimpses of scenic beach getaways and visits to exotic international destinations. His curated posts highlight a lifestyle rooted in exploration and leisure, offering a peek into his off-screen personality.
