A fan wrote, “Hi Anurag Kashyap, take my money and inject #Kennedy straight into my veins pretty please, Anurag Kashyap? This looks so whacky and twisted and diabolical.”
Written and directed by Anurag Kashyap, Kennedy will have a grand ‘Midnight screening’ at the 76th Cannes Film Festival later this month. Talking about the inception of Kennedy, Anurag stated, “I've lived with the character for a very long time since I was writing for Sudhir Mishra and he used to tell me stories of this mad policeman. Then years later during the lockdown, a headline incident happened in Mumbai and that triggered an idea and I took the cop from Sudhir Mishra's stories and put him around that incident and Kennedy was born.” Bankrolled by Zee Studios and Ranjan Singh & Kabir Ahuja of Good Bad Films, the film also stars Mohit Takalkar, Abhilash Thapliyal and Megha Burman in prominent roles.
