MUMBAI—June 16, 2025—Amazon MGM Studios today announced that its theatrical movie Nishaanchi, is set to premiere on 19th September. Directed by Anurag Kashyap, this raw and gritty crime drama is produced by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh under the banner of Jar Pictures in association with Flip Films.
Nishaanchi marks the powerful acting debut of Aaishvary Thackeray who stars alongside Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Kumud Mishra in pivotal roles. Crafted for the big screen, Nishaanchi delivers a gripping, cinematic experience that delves into the complex lives of two brothers who walk starkly different paths, uncovering how their choices shape their destinies.
Director Anurag Kashyap says, “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.
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. Working with the team at Amazon MGM Studios has been an immensely rewarding and beautiful experience. It was like going back to my early days of filmmaking. We’re excited, nervous, and can’t wait to share the film with the audience to experience, when it releases in theatres this September!”
The movie is wrapping its shoots in and around Lucknow at present, The Hindustan Times reports: “After Bombay Velvet, I have stopped talking about my films till they go into release. Bahut negativity ho jati hai… Besides, we have a lot many NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) so, there is no point. I want my film to do the talking,” says the Gangs of Wasseypur (2011) director.
