New Delhi, Feb 8 (.) Director Anurag Kashyap has claimed that the special effects work in his crime-drama ‘Nishaanchi’ surpasses that of the Oscar-nominated Hollywood film ‘Sinners’. He particularly praised Red Chillies for executing “two different kinds of double roles” in the film.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Kashyap said, “Working with other filmmakers, I am seeing this new style of working. It is coming in and it is everywhere in the South. They shoot and they edit right there. They shoot a scene a day; they don’t do shots.”
He added, “For me, both parts of Nishaanchi, with special effects, with the actor playing two different kinds of double roles, which I am very proud of, what Sylvester and Red Chillies have achieved. I can very proudly say that it is better than ‘Sinners’. They are really two different people, and we shot two months apart. It was not like changing your shirt and coming. It was all real.”
‘Nishaanchi’ is a two-part film series following twin brothers Babloo and Dabloo (both played by Aaishvary Thackeray) in Kanpur, as their lives intertwine amid family feuds. The film is currently available for streaming on Prime Video.
The Hollywood film ‘Sinners’, directed by Ryan Coogler, broke records with 16 nominations at the 98th Academy Awards, the most ever for any production. It features Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twin brothers Elijah “Smoke” Moore and Elias “Stack” Moore, earning him his first Oscar nomination. Sinners is also available for streaming on Prime Video in India.
Kashyap’s next release is the noir-thriller ‘Kennedy’, starring Rahul Bhat, Sunny Leone, and others in key roles. The film is set to premiere on ZEE5 on February 20.
