ZEE5, India’s leading video streaming platform, has released the gripping trailer for the highly anticipated thriller ‘Kennedy’, directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. ‘Kennedy’, which has garnered accolades at international film festivals, will premiere exclusively for Indian audiences on ZEE5 on February 20th.
‘Kennedy’ is a neo-noir thriller set in Mumbai. The film follows the double life of Kennedy Uday Shetty (Rahul Bhat), a former cop turned contract killer. Living a dual existence as a taxi driver by day and carrying out assassination contracts for corrupt police commissioner Rashid Khan by night, Kennedy is haunted by the pain of his son’s loss and the memories of his shattered family. His journey of self-discovery in a city from which he cannot escape his past forms the core of the film.
The film stars Rahul Bhat in the lead role, with Sunny Leone, Mohit Takalkar, Megha Burman, Aamir Talvi, Abhilash Thapliyal, and Karishma Modi in pivotal roles. They all add multiple layers to Kennedy’s dark and fractured world.
The Kennedy trailer tells a story filled with emotions of silence, anger, and survival. When Kennedy is caught in a dangerous web of explosions, threatening conspiracies, and power struggles, he is thrust into a violent quest for truth, revenge, and a final attempt at redemption. Stylish action, gripping visuals, and Anurag Kashyap’s signature noir storytelling combine to set the stage for an emotionally charged cinematic experience that explores themes of isolation, justice, and the price of uncompromising choices.

Anurag Kashyap said about the film:
“‘Kennedy’ is one of the most unique films I have ever made. The journey of this film has been long, but every single feedback we received at film festivals made it all worthwhile. The trailer takes you into the world of a man who is violent on the outside but deeply wounded inside. I am thrilled to bring the film to ZEE5 audiences in its original form, without any compromises.”
Actor Rahul Bhat said:
“Playing the character of Kennedy was a transformative experience for me. Kennedy is lonely, angry, vulnerable, and constantly running from his past. Living in his silence and anger was mentally exhausting, but the character gave me immense satisfaction. The film festival audiences celebrating the film was incredibly encouraging. Now I eagerly await for Indian audiences to experience Kennedy’s journey and pain.” Sunny Leone said,
“The film ‘Kennedy’ pushed me as an actress into a completely different emotional space. Charlie is a character who embodies mystery, subtlety, and strength all at once. Exploring her journey was a challenging and fulfilling experience. Working with Anurag Kashyap taught me to appreciate silence more than dialogue. This film presented me with significant challenges in ways I had never experienced before. I thank Anurag Kashyap for that. I eagerly await to see the audience experience this dark and beautiful world.”
Get ready to watch ‘Kennedy’, an action-packed thriller, on ZEE5 from February 20th.
