Anurag Kashyap said, “I would read a lot of Noir, from Dashiell Hammett to Raymond Chandler, and reading that stuff opened the door for me to cinema, making me curious to watch films from across the world. ‘Nishaanchi’, for me, is like going back to the cinema I grew up watching. Back then, we had no theatres in small towns, so my father would set up a projector to project films onto the big white walls. Since cinemas were in the cities, our entertainment came from government-scheme theatres like Chalchitra Talkies. Films would reach us years after their city release. Sholay was released in 1975, but I saw it only in 1980 or ’81. Sometimes movies were projected on white walls or red sheets in tennis courts, and kids like me would sneak behind the screen to watch when our parents forbade it.”
