FIlmmaker Anurag Kashyap has reacted to the package power loser of his take Nishaanchi, which stars Monika Panwar and Aaishvary william makepeace thackeray, admitting that commercial setbacks no longer shake him. Anurag on Nishaanchi failureOn Thursday, Anurag Kashyap attended the teaser launch of his upcoming film Dacoit, where News18 Showsha asked if he was disheartened by Nishaanchi’s box office performance. The filmmaker quipped that he’s used to such outcomes, adding that it no longer rattles him.“I am used to it (laughs). I probably expected a little bit more. I realised it on the second day. Because it was one film, we decided to put both parts together on OTT. It was a file produced by Amazon, so I am okay,” Anurag said.Meanwhile, now, Anurag is making his acting debut in Telugu with Dacoit, which also stars Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur. The film is slated to release in theatres in March next year. The actor-filmmaker was present in Hyderabad on Thursday at the teaser launch event.Talking about Dacoit, Anurag said, “Dacoit for me is very Hollywood-like film. In the beginning, when I came onboard, I observed that the shooting style is not like how I shoot. Adivi Sesh also has his own style. However, when I am acting, I surrender. I saw two scenes. First I saw a sequence which I was not a part of. It really moved me when I saw the results. I’ve not seen Mrunal like this ever – this will be a game changer for her.”About NishaanchiAnurag Kashyap's Nishaanchi, starring Aaishvary Thackeray and Vedika Pinto in lead roles, was released in theatres on September 19. The film marked the debut of Aaishvary, the grandson of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray. He was seen in the role of brothers Babloo and Dabloo Nishaanchi in the crime drama.
