Since yesterday, after Nishaanchi 2 released directly on Amazon Prime, you have seen social media filled with one question: will Shankar follow Anurag Kashyap’s route? The discussion began soon after the OTT release went live.
Nishaanchi released in theatres on September 19th and ended as a terrible disaster. Even with average reviews, audiences showed no interest. The team had already completed most of the sequel before Part 1 released, which left them with limited choices later.
Because of the poor box office response, the makers dropped the theatrical plan and released Nishaanchi 2 straight on OTT. This move triggered strong reactions online. Many trackers shared their views and tagged Shankar with their suggestions.
Some users compared the situation to Indian 2, which also faced negative talk. They said the team had already shot most scenes for Indian 3, with only a few portions pending. They now feel Shankar should release Indian 3 directly on OTT, just like Nishaanchi 2.
They believe the makers should sell the OTT rights to a top platform, use the advance to complete the remaining shoot, and skip a theatrical release. They argue that audiences will not show interest in watching Indian 3 in theatres because of the response to Indian 2.
For now, nothing is clear about Indian 3. You still have no update on its release plan. Everyone is waiting to see whether Shankar will follow Anurag Kashyap’s path and choose an OTT release for the next part.
