Actor Aaishvary Thackeray is all set for his debut with director Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Nishaanchi’. The first poster of the film unveiled by Amazon MGM Studios teases the quintessential Quentin Tarantino-themed gangster-drama with a blend of quintessential 80s Bollywood action-thrillers.
Kashyap had announced the film in June 2025. The quirky, colourful first look of ‘Nishaanchi’ depicts raw, grassroots narrative, seen earlier in films such as ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Gulaal’, ‘Mukkebaaz’, etc. The viewers get an impression of realism along with mainstream cinematic flair. The adrenaline-fuelled gritty crime-drama promises to be a true-blue masala entertainer based on the underworld. The upcoming action-packed movie follows the tale of two brothers—mirror images of each other, yet worlds apart, whose choices shape their destinies.
At its core, ‘Nishaanchi’ is about debutant Aaishvary in a compelling double role— as twin brothers leading starkly different lives, caught in a storm that’s ready to erupt. The unique retro-style poster is also metaphorical of a multi-layered, unapologetically dramatic scenario where love, revenge, and destiny collide. The film also features a powerful ensemble cast including Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Kumud Mishra, in pivotal roles.
Opening up about the project, Anurag Kashyap said in a statement, “We wrote ‘Nishaanchi’ in 2016. Since then, I have been looking to make this film the way it should be, and was looking for a studio who trusted me to do that, whole heartedly. 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. ‘Nishaanchi’ is a story full of raw human emotions, love, lust, power, crime and punishment, betrayal, redemption and the consequences of it all.”
This gritty, emotionally charged saga is produced by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh under the banner of Jar Pictures, in association with Flip Films, and is written by Prasoon Mishra, Ranjan Chandel, and Anurag Kashyap.
‘Nishaanchi’ is set to release in theatres in India on September 19, 2025.
