At the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2023, Anurag Kashyap said Sudhir Mishra had roped him in to write a movie revolving around Uday Shetty, the character eventually played by Bhat in Kennedy.
Kennedy, starring Sunny Leone and Rahul Bhat, revolves around an insomniac ex-cop, long thought to be dead, but still operating for the corrupt system, and looking for redemption.
Kennedy: Kennedy makers held a special screening for the film. Industry professionals who attended screenings of the Anurag Kashyap-directed movie gave it a favourable review.
"Cinema has to be based on reality and truth and the politics of it comes from the politics of the world it is based on and the truths and facts of the world it is based on," says Anurag Kashyap.
