As Aaishvary Thackeray gears up for the release of his debut film, Nishaanchi, directed by Anurag Kashyap, good wishes are pouring in from various quarters. Among those sending their support is Aneet Padda, who recently starred alongside Ahaan Panday in the hit film Saiyaara.

Nishaanchi marks a significant milestone for Aaishvary Thackeray, grandson of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray, as he enters the Bollywood arena. The film is slated to release in theaters on September 19, 2025, and will see Thackeray in a double role, playing twin brothers with contrasting values. The teaser for the film was released on August 8, 2025.

Aneet Padda's message to Aaishvary Thackeray hints at a deeper connection or understanding between them, with Padda stating, "Only a few of us know…" The exact nature of this shared knowledge remains undisclosed, adding an intriguing layer to the well-wishing message. It could refer to the challenges and pressures of entering the film industry, the specific demands of the roles Thackeray is undertaking, or perhaps a more personal connection between Padda and Thackeray.

Nishaanchi is described as a gangster dramedy, promising a blend of action and emotion. The film's narrative revolves around twin brothers navigating a world of conflict, loyalty, and personal choices. The cast includes Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Kumud Mishra. The film is produced by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh under the banner of Jar Pictures, in association with Flip Films. The script is co-written by Prasoon Mishra, Ranjan Chandel, and Anurag Kashyap.

Anurag Kashyap has expressed his long-standing desire to bring Nishaanchi to the screen, stating that he had been waiting since 2016 for the right opportunity and studio to support his vision. He described the film as a story filled with raw human emotions, love, lust, power, crime, punishment, betrayal, and redemption. Amazon MGM Studios India is distributing the film.

The release of Nishaanchi is expected to be a significant event, marking the debut of Aaishvary Thackeray and the return of Anurag Kashyap to the big screen after a hiatus. The film is anticipated to showcase Thackeray's acting abilities in a challenging dual role and further solidify Kashyap's reputation as a filmmaker who blends grounded storytelling with mainstream entertainment. Nishaanchi is set to clash at the box office with Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's Jolly LLB 3.
