Anurag Kashyap seems determined to return to the energy of his Gangs of Wasseypur days. This impression comes strongly from the trailer of his upcoming film Nishaanchi, which was unveiled on September 3, 2025, sparking instant buzz among cinephiles.
The trailer brings back the flavour of classic gangster dramas mostly set in Uttar Pradesh. It features guns, street chases, and powerful figures commanding ruthless actions. The setting and tone remind audiences of Kashyap’s signature filmmaking style.
Authentic locations and raw language give the film its edge. With fresh faces like Aaishvary Thackeray and Vedika Pinto, Nishaanchi is shaping up as an intriguing crime drama set to release on September 19, 2025.
Anurag’s recent films failed to leave a strong mark at the box office, but Nishaanchi carries the promise of revival. The situations shown in the trailer even hint at meme-worthy moments, much like the cult following of Gangs of Wasseypur.
Fans are already reacting positively, praising the director for bringing back old-school Bollywood storytelling and for giving underrated actors a platform. Many believe this trailer signals the return of the original Anurag Kashyap.
However, Nishaanchi’s release coincides with Jolly LLB 3, which is backed by the star power of Akshay Kumar. This black comedy legal drama is generating high buzz and could dominate the opening weekend with its promotional push.
The clash may challenge Nishaanchi’s reach, and only word-of-mouth may not be enough. Anurag will likely need stronger strategies to ensure visibility for his film during this competitive week. The final outcome will be revealed at the box office.
