Recently while speaking about the tone of the much-awaited drama Nishaanchi, Anurag shared, “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, my longest and most elaborate shoot yet.”

Anurag Kashyap, a filmmaker celebrated for his gritty, genre-defining cinema, appears to be returning to his signature storytelling style with Nishaanchi. Though plot details remain tightly under wraps, the teaser has hinted at a dark, intense narrative packed with suspense and layered characters, hallmarks of Kashyap’s best-known works.

Currently, Anurag Kashyap is gearing up for his Amazon MGM Studios India film Nishaanchi.

Written by Prasoon Mishra, Ranjan Chandel, and Anurag Kashyap, this masala entertainer, packed with action, humour, and drama, hits theatres across India on September 19, 2025.
