Curiosità

Kennedy is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language neo-noir crime thriller film written and directed by Anurag Kashyap. It stars Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone in the lead roles. The film marks the third collaboration of Kashyap and Bhat after Ugly (2013) and Dobaaraa (2022).

Production

The idea of Kennedy was taken from Sudhir Mishra in 2003, who was then making a film with Sanjay Dutt and Tejaswini Kolhapure in the lead roles and for which Kashyap served as the director. Due to reasons unknown, the project was shelved and later Kashyap then took the idea of the protagonist which was based on a real-life police officer named Uday Shetty and scripted the film, making the character an undercover police officer-turned-hitman opera…

Kashyap stated that Vijay Sethupathi, though not being a part of the cast, helped in shaping the character and the film. For the protagonist, Kashyap initially envisioned Vikram to play the character; his real name is also Kennedy John Victor, which served as an inspiration for the title.

Kashyap added that Bhat had the sense of egolesness and his performance being consistent and outstanding, thereby becoming a binding factor in the film. He praised his dedication of the actor, where he had to peel 700 apples for a specific scene where he had to peel an apple with a gun in hand, and sleeping with a pistol to stay in character. He also avoided sleeping before night shoots to get the weary, bloodshot look.

Kennedy was shot primarily during the COVID-19 pandemic where Kashyap used absolute silence to maintain the dark and gritty tone of the film. The final scene was shot in Colaba where the team could not use real guns for firing, Bhat mimicked the gun firing sounds to ensure authenticity, and in the intense scene, Kashyap stood with Bhat holding his hand as he broke down during close ups.
