I\u2019m very honest about my filmmaking. And I think filmmakers should be honest in their filmmaking. In a sense, it\u2019s a choice you have to make. Do you want to make movies or do you want a lifestyle? Most people want fame and a lifestyle. I want to keep making movies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The filmmaker further continued and said, \u201cPeople call me fearless because the public is afraid. People call me courageous because they lack courage. Why should you need to be courageous to speak honestly? I\u2019m just honest to myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><strong>About Anurag Kashyap\u2019s next<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Kashyap\u2019s career is rooted in his unwavering love for cinema, and now he is coming up with another film, Nishaanchi, that stars Aaishvary Thackeray, grandson of Balasaheb Thackeray.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">The film is set in Uttar Pradesh in the early 2000s and introduces Aaishvary Thackeray in his acting debut.

It\u2019s my most cinematic film, with a classic story at its center involving emotion, betrayal, action\u2014everything I grew up loving in Hindi films,&#8221; said Anurag Kashyap while talking about the film. He further continued and said, \u201cAaishvary, Vedika, Monika, Zeeshan, Kumud, and every single actor in the film\u2014they didn\u2019t just act, they lived and breathed these characters. Their commitment to the story and the authenticity of their performances shine in the film.
