Watch the Nishaanchi teaser as Aaishvary Thackeray makes his double role debut in Anurag Kashyap’s massy entertainer, releasing September 19, 2025.
The teaser of Nishaanchi, Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming mass entertainer, introduces Balasaheb Thackeray’s grandson Aaishvary Thackeray in a double role.
Anurag Kashyap is back with a bang, and this time he’s introducing a debutant from one of Maharashtra’s most influential families. The teaser of Nishaanchi, unveiled on Friday, marks the highly anticipated big-screen debut of Balasaheb Thackeray’s grandson, Aaishvary Thackeray — and he’s diving straight into a double role for his very first film. If the teaser is any indication, Kashyap is bringing his signature edge to a full-blown masala entertainer that promises chaos, colour, and charisma in equal measure.
Nishaanchi explores the intricate and turbulent relationship between two brothers whose lives take dramatically different turns, with their choices shaping their destinies in unexpected ways. The film blends gritty realism with mainstream appeal, serving up a concoction of high drama, raw emotion, and unapologetic swagger. Kashyap’s reputation for layered storytelling seems intact, but here it’s been infused with the vibrancy and mass appeal of a heartland potboiler.
The teaser wastes no time in grabbing attention. It opens with the line: “Bina Bollywood, kauno zindagi kaise jiye?” — instantly setting the tone for an unapologetic love letter to filmi flamboyance. From there, we’re thrown into the pulsating world of Babloo (Aaishvary Thackeray), a flamboyant, larger-than-life local hero who oozes confidence and charm. Babloo’s world is alive with energy, beats, and attitude, and by his side is Rinku (Vedika Pinto), a firecracker who matches his madness move for move. Their chemistry, teased in quick flashes, promises to be one of the film’s highlights.
However, this seemingly carefree world is soon disrupted by the arrival of two formidable characters — Ambika Chacha (Kumud Mishra) and Kamaal Ajeeb (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub). Their entry adds a layer of intrigue, hinting at twists and confrontations that will push the story into unexpected territory.
The teaser is packed with seeti-maar moments: slow-motion hero entries, larger-than-life character reveals, and music that’s instantly catchy. The soundtrack, infused with foot-tapping beats and earthy folk elements, looks set to be an integral part of the storytelling. Kashyap’s stamp is unmistakable — even amidst the massy tone, there’s an undercurrent of grit, complexity, and authenticity that grounds the spectacle.
Visually, Nishaanchi embraces the vibrancy of the heartland — bustling streets, colourful fairs, and raw rural landscapes — all shot with a cinematic flair that amplifies the drama. It’s equal parts high-energy entertainer and character-driven saga, promising a ride that’s as emotional as it is electrifying.
With its theatrical release set for September 19, 2025, Nishaanchi could be the perfect launchpad for Aaishvary Thackeray, giving audiences a double dose of his screen presence. For Kashyap fans, it’s a tantalising reminder that the filmmaker can straddle the worlds of indie grit and mainstream masala without losing his storytelling bite.
