Anurag Kashyap is making a comeback to his original roots with the crime drama Nishaanchi, starring debutant Aaishvary Thackeray. The teaser, which was released some time back, created quite the buzz. Now, it is only a couple of days of wait for the release of the trailer. As per a source close to the project, the trailer will be unveiled this week.
“The trailer of Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming film Nishaanchi will be unveiled on September 3. Starring Aaishvary Thackeray and Vedika Pinto, the film is touted to be a pure masala entertainer that will surprise audiences coming from Kashyap,” as per the source.
In the film, Aaishvary Thackeray plays a double role of twin brothers, Babloo and Dabloo, while Vedika Pinto plays Rinku. The story revolves around Babloo’s deep affection for Rinku, which is disrupted by Dabloo’s arrival. The Gangs of Wasseypur director expressed that creating Nishaanchi gave him a sense of returning to his cinematic roots, allowing him to reconnect with the raw, unfiltered style of storytelling that defined his early work. He also called it his ‘full-on-Salim-Javed zone of film’.
Kashyap said, “Nishaanchi is my full-on Salim-Javed zone of film; it has the hero, the drama, and the payoff a film must deliver. I spent 69 days on it, and it’s my longest and most elaborate shoot yet. Initially, the title was Babloo Nishaanchi, Rangilee Rinku, and Dabloo — everyone said it was too long. The story of how Nishaanchi was coined and the film was finally named.”
