Actor Rahul Bhat is being praised for his performance in the film Kennedy. Directed by Anurag Kashyap, the film was recently released on ZEE5 marking its India release. Ever since the release, Bhat has been receiving heavy praises for his performance as a contract killer.  Rahul Bhat on working with Anurag Kashyap Talking about working with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, Rahul Bhat recalled the shoot of the climax scene. “The last scene is very characteristic of Anurag,” the actor recalled. “The character is completely alone, and I was emotionally drained while performing it. It was a very difficult and vulnerable space to be in.” What happened next stayed with him long after the cameras stopped rolling. During an intense close-up, he noticed that Anurag had stepped away from the monitor. Instead, he was sitting right beside him. “He was holding my right hand while I was crying and performing the shot,” the actor shares. “He was right there with me in that moment.” “He truly understands his actors,” he says. “It’s always a pleasure working with …

4 min readNew DelhiFeb 25, 2026 02:54 PM IST Tanmay Bhat, one of the co-founders of AIB who now owns an advertising agency and is an investor in many start-ups, and continues to be a YouTuber, recently opened up about experimenting with GLP-1 drugs, which are also used as appetite suppressants that trigger weight loss.

Kennedy review: Back in form Anurag Kashyap shows what Bombay Velvet could have been; Rahul Bhat gives a career-best act

Published by Parlour News

Kennedy Cast: Rahul Bhat, Sunny Leone, Mohit Takalkar, Abhilash Thapliyal, Aamir Dalvi, Karishma Modi, Megha Burman Director: Anurag Kashyap Rating: ★★★.5 Over the years, many film buffs in India – dismayed by the apparent downfall in quality of Anurag Kashyap’s films – have chalked it out to the Gangs of Wasseypur curse. They theorise that the filmmaker is overwhelmed by what the cult film became, and has been chasing that high since, unsuccessfully. To me, the lapses that Kashyap made in the last decade were less to do with Wasseypur and more with Bombay Velvet. It was the filmmaker’s most ambitious film, and his biggest failure. I felt that Kashyap approached every new thing with a thought at the back of his mind – how different it all would be had Bombay Velvet worked. And I believe he wondered what it could have been. He answers the second question himself with Kennedy, a noir thriller that is as different from Bombay Velvet as two films can be, and yet, is similar in more ways than …

Kennedy movie review: Cannot take your eyes off Rahul Bhat in noir

Published by Webster

After a long wait, festival acclaim, and multiple delays, Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy has finally arrived in India. Starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone, the noir thriller premiered at international film festivals two years ago to strong critical reception. Following cuts and modifications by the CBFC, the film is now streaming on ZEE5. Kennedy plot Bhat plays the titular Kennedy- a man who wasn’t always Kennedy, a driver for a premier cab service and a contract killer. Once known as Uday Shetty, a cop now presumed dead, he lives in pandemic-stricken Mumbai, operating in isolation as a hired killer for a corrupt police commissioner. He executes assignments without question, driven by the promise of information about Saleem- a gangster he holds a deeply personal vendetta against. The film’s first half immerses us in Kennedy’s stark routine. A man of few words, he lets his gun speak for him. Emotionally vacant and mechanically precise, he is haunted by the voices of those he has murdered, though he never engages with them. Whether these voices are manifestations of …
