Anurag Kashyap’s directorial Kennedy became a film to watch out for after it premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Later, it got a roaring response when almost 2000 viewers watched it at the Jio MAMI Film Festival in October of the same year. It’s been more than a year since and moviegoers have been patiently waiting for its theatrical release in India. Meanwhile, some of the finest names of the Telugu film industry or rather the Indian film industry came together to watch the film recently. Bollywood Hungama has accessed the pictures from a screening that took place at Ramanaidu Studios, Hyderabad.
Those present at this screening were Sandeep Reddy Vanga of Animal and Kabir Singh fame, Pushpa’s blockbuster director Sukumar, S S Rajamouli’s father and legendary writer K V Vijayendra Prasad, reputed producer Suresh Babu and prominent actor Rana Daggubati.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “It was quite a screening as these greats assembled at one place to watch Kennedy. And that’s not all. After the screening, they all spoke to Anurag Kashyap for nearly 2 hours about the film. Everyone was quite impressed with Kennedy and praised Kashyap for his work.”
The leaked pictures show Anurag Kashyap listening to their thoughts and having an animated discussion. They can also be seen smiling, indicating that everyone had a gala time.
Recently, Anurag Kashyap thundered in an interview over the delayed release of Kennedy. He told The Hollywood Reporter, “I have made five films that are lying unreleased. Where is Kennedy? And whose hands is Kennedy in? It’s in the hands of some people who’ve never made films before. The people who made Kennedy in the studio are all gone. The people who are there, the directive given to them is to up the share prices, generate profits, cost recovery... That’s all there is. Nobody is interested in films. It doesn't matter if Kennedy went to Cannes; it doesn't matter if it had such a massive reception at festivals. Forget outside India, they've seen the reception in India, but where is the film?”
An industry insider commented, “The support that Anurag Kashyap has got from these legendary film personalities should enhance the buzz for Kennedy and hopefully, culminate into its release in India in the near future. The film has gotten love from all over the world and the Indian audience also deserves to see this great piece of cinema.”
Kennedy stars Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone in leading roles.
