Anurag Kashyap's neo-noir crime thriller is all set to release on Zee5 later this month. Starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone, it revolves around a former police officer who is presumed dead and works as a contract killer.
Anurag Kashyap's long-awaited Kennedy has finally been locked in its release date. After a prolonged festival and international run, the neo-noir crime thriller will premiere directly on an OTT platform, skipping a theatrical release in India. Starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone, the film will stream on Zee5 later this month.
The OTT platform revealed the release date through an official social media post, describing the film as "darker, deadlier, and undeniably Kashyap." A few days ago, the director had also shared the update, noting that the internationally acclaimed story is "finally coming home."
Kennedy received international recognition
The film first premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, where it was shown in the Midnight Screenings section. Kennedy was later screened at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, and then in December 2025, it became the only Indian film to be selected for the launch lineup of the Letterboxd Video Store.
