The countdown is on for ‘Kennedy’s OTT debut on February 20, following its Cannes triumph in 2023 where it earned roaring applause. Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone’s performances in this suspense-packed drama have fans hooked from the trailer alone.
In a candid chat, Bhat defended Anurag Kashyap against brutality claims. ‘His films mirror life’s unvarnished reality, not gratuitous violence,’ he said. ‘The impact brews internally for viewers— that’s masterful narrative craft.’
Expressions dominate over words in ‘Kennedy’, thanks to Kashyap’s mentorship. Bhat shared, ‘He equipped me with insights and let me thrive under his watchful eye. Working with him feels secure and inspiring.’ Leone added depth: ‘True acting internalizes the role, speaking through silence. Sometimes, words fail where quiet expression triumphs—it’s profoundly demanding.’
Creativity flowed freely on set. ‘Kashyap empowers actors, fostering organic performances amid minimal chatter,’ Bhat noted. The intentional silence? ‘Pure focus, no distractions—everyone was locked into their craft without a hint of tension.’
Defining success, Bhat stressed multiplicity. ‘Beyond production, it’s about compelling tales reaching audiences amid various influences.’ ‘Kennedy’ stands poised to captivate, showcasing cinema’s power to provoke thought in hushed intensity.
