Kashyap on Nishaanchi:
Originally written in 2016, Kashyap described Nishaanchi as a long-gestating story exploring love, lust, power, crime, betrayal, redemption, and the devastating consequences of choices. He praised Amazon MGM for backing his vision without compromise, saying the collaboration reminded him of “my early days of filmmaking.”

Nikhil Madhok, head of originals at Amazon MGM Studios India, emphasized the company’s shift into cinema-first storytelling. He said Nishaanchi is part of a broader slate of films tailored for theatrical release and highlighted the film’s “layered characters,” “suspense,” and a “standout music score.”
