What’s Kennedy All About?
Kennedy ostensibly revolves around Uday Shetty (played by Rahul Bhat), an insomniac former police officer who is now believed to be dead. Living under the false identity of Kennedy, he operates in Mumbai’s crime-ridden underbelly, working as a contract killer for a corrupt police system. Burdened by guilt, his life takes a complicated turn when he meets a mysterious woman named Charlie (played by Sunny Leone), forcing him to deal with his troubled past and moral dilemmas.
Anurag Kashyap & Rahul Bhat’s Earlier Collaborations
Rahul Bhat has collaborated with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap on two projects before Kennedy. Their first collaboration was the gritty 2013 thriller Ugly, in which Rahul Bhat played a distraught father desperately searching for his missing daughter. The film also starred Ronit Roy, Tejaswini Kolhapure, and Vineet Kumar Singh in prominent roles.
The actor-director duo reunited in Dobaaraa (2022), a sci-fi mystery thriller starring Taapsee Pannu, in which she tries to save the life of a young boy who died over 20 years ago. Both these films, though underappreciated, deserve the attention of all diehard Anurag Kashyap fans and serious cinephiles.
