Anurag Kashyap reflected on the journey: “Nishaanchi was written in 2016 and since then I have been looking for a studio that trusted the team wholeheartedly.” He credited Amazon MGM Studios with finally offering the support needed: “Amazon MGM loved it, believed in it, and became the wall behind us.” The filmmaker compared the experience to “going back to my early days of filmmaking” and expressed excitement and nerves about the theatrical release.
