Mumbai, June 17 (UNI) "Nishaanchi", a brooding crime drama directed by Anurag Kashyap, is set to premiere in cinemas on September 19.

Kashyap disclosed that the script for the film was written in 2016. Since then, he has been looking to make the film "the way it should be", and was looking for a studio which would trust him to do that.

"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," he said.

At the heart of the narrative lie two brothers whose divergent paths expose them to the raw edges of love, betrayal, guilt and survival.

‘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," said Kashyap.

Produced under the banner of Jar Pictures in association with Flip Films, the film is backed by by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh.

Aishwarya Thackeray has entered the world of acting with the film "Nishaanchi", in which she is accompanied by Vedika Pinto, Monica Panwar, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub and Kumud Mishra in the lead roles. UNI NST SSP
