    Anurag Kashyap Reveals Why It Took 10 Years To Make Aaishvary Thackeray's Nishaanchi

    Nishaanchi, the gangster drama directed by Anurag Kashyap, stars debutant Aaishvary Thackeray in a dual role as twin brothers Babloo and Dabloo and is generating significant buzz online. Ahead of its grand release on September 19, Kashyap spoke to IMDb and explained why the film took 10 years to make.
    Speaking about why the film took a decade to complete, Kashyap said, “The right time to look at the project is when everything falls together. The cast, the producer, the studios, everything fell together now, that’s why it is the right time. It was very difficult to cast for the longest time.”
    He explained, “There’s not a single studio or actor that I have not been to. All of them wanted to do the film, but they had this issue or that issue, and I did not want to change one thing in my script; they just somehow didn’t work out.”
    “With newcomers, it took a lot of time to find the correct studio. I met an Amazon executive on a flight to Melbourne, it was a long flight and they had no chance to escape me. By the time the flight landed, they had greenlit the project,” the director added.
    Kashyap mentioned, “Nishaanchi for me is a throwback to all the Hindi cinema that I have loved growing up. Like until the 80s, 70s, 60s, from all the Dilip Kumar films to the Amitabh Bachchan films, to Mother India, Mughal-E-Azam, Naya Daur, Bimal Roy’s movies, and that was everything.”
    On comparisons to his film Gangs of Wasseypur, he said, “I made Nishaanchi to undo Gangs of Wasseypur. The two films are as different from each other as distant Wasseypur is from Kanpur, like 800 km. Secondly, after Wasseypur, everyone thinks that I invented swear words; they didn’t think that swear words existed before Wasseypur. I had to undo that also.”
    Anurag Kashyap said, “I am exhausted of people asking me for Gangs of Wasseypur 3, which is the easter egg that my producer put in the teaser that we’ll make our gang – Babloo Nishaanchi, Rangeeli Rinku, and Dabloo, this isn’t the gang from Wasseypur, and then the line comes – Mien dungah jawab, mien hu Raja Hindustan (I’ll give the answer, I am Raja Hindustani).”
    Nishaanchi Plot
    The film explores the contrasting lives and conflicting destinies of twin brothers, with one becoming a righteous police officer and the other a notorious gang leader, leading to inevitable conflict, betrayal and a struggle for redemption. Produced by Ajay Rai, Vipin Agnihotri, and Ranjan Singh under JAR Pictures, the film also features Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Kumud Mishra in key roles.
