Balasaheb Thackeray’s grandson, Aaishvary Thackeray, is making his Bollywood debut with Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming film.
Balasaheb Thackeray’s grandson, Aaishvary Thackeray, is gearing up for his much-anticipated Bollywood debut under the direction of acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. Having started his cinematic journey as an assistant director on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani in 2015, Aaishvary is now set to take center stage in an upcoming, yet-to-be-titled film.
Industry insiders are already abuzz with praise for his dedication. A source close to the project shared, “Aaishvary’s performance in Anurag Kashyap’s film is nothing short of remarkable. His commitment to the craft, coupled with the depth he brings to his character, is sure to leave a lasting impact on audiences.”
Aaishvary’s early exposure to filmmaking under Bhansali’s mentorship provided him with invaluable insights into the industry. Over the years, he has further honed his skills in acting and dance, preparing himself for his grand entry into Bollywood. His association with Kashyap, known for his bold and unconventional storytelling, is expected to be a powerful stepping stone for his acting career.
Despite belonging to one of Maharashtra’s most influential political families, Aaishvary has maintained a relatively low public profile. As the grandson of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray and the nephew of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, his Bollywood debut is bound to draw significant attention.
On the professional front, Anurag Kashyap’s last directorial venture, Kennedy, garnered praise at the Cannes Film Festival but is yet to secure an official release date in India. While widely recognized for his directorial prowess, Kashyap has also been making waves as an actor, with notable performances in films like Leo, Maharaja, and Viduthalai Part 2.
Now, the acclaimed filmmaker-actor is set to take on a compelling role in the highly anticipated pan-India action drama Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh. Following the buzz around Mrunal Thakur’s casting as the film’s leading lady, the makers have now revealed another major addition—Anurag Kashyap himself.
In Dacoit, Kashyap will portray a formidable inspector, a devout Ayyappa follower with an unyielding stance against corruption. His character, known for his sharp intellect, wit, and sarcasm, is expected to bring an intriguing layer to the film’s intense action-packed narrative. With its powerhouse cast and high-stakes storyline, Dacoit is shaping up to be a thrilling cinematic spectacle.
