The renowned filmmaker, admired for revolutionizing Indian cinema with his out-of-the-box experimental storytelling, impactful writing, and especially his visionary direction, Anurag Kashyap has now achieved a new milestone in his eminent career at the IWMBuzz Digital Awards Season 8. The star-studded event held on June 16, 2026, at JW Marriott, Juhu, turned out to be a historic moment with Anurag Kashyap winning the Best Direction In A Digital Film award for Amazon Prime Video’s Nishaanchi Part 2 film, as this marks his career’s first-ever award that he received specifically for direction.
When the award was presented to Anurag Kashyap, in his thank-you speech, he revealed, “This is my first ever award for direction.” This very fact made the moment even more remarkable.
As we know, Anurag has earned widespread acknowledgment, felicitations, and awards for his exceptional work as a producer, writer, and filmmaker. But the irony is that, despite being one of the most celebrated and influential directors in India, a direction award had surprisingly eluded him until now.
Finally, Anurag was honored for the craft he is best known for by the platform IWMBuzz Digital Awards Season 8. Following the announcement, the audience, industry friends, stars, and others applauded, making it one of the evening’s most memorable moments and a fitting recognition of his exceptional contribution to filmmaking.
