India’s leading video streaming platform ZEE5 has released the thrilling trailer of the much-awaited thriller ‘Kennedy’, directed by acclaimed director Anurag Kashyap. ‘Kennedy’, which has garnered acclaim at international film festivals, will premiere exclusively on ZEE5 for Indian audiences on February 20th.
‘Kennedy’ is an action-packed thriller set in Mumbai and set in the Noir style. The film follows the double life of Kennedy Uday Shetty (Rahul Bhat), a former police officer turned contract killer. A taxi driver by day and a hitman for corrupt police commissioner Rashid Khan by night, Kennedy is haunted by the pain of losing his son and the memories of his shattered family. The film centers on his journey to find himself in a city where he can’t escape his past.
The film stars Rahul Bhatt in the lead role, while Sunny Leone, Mohit Takhalkar, Megha Burman, Aamir Talvi, Abhilash Thapliyal, and Karisma Modi play pivotal roles. All of them add layers to Kennedy’s dark, fractured world.
The Kennedy trailer tells a story filled with emotions of silence, anger, and survival. When Kennedy is caught up in a dangerous conspiracy of explosions, intimidation networks, and power centers, he is forced into a violent quest for truth, revenge, and a final redemption. Stylish action, terrifying visuals, and Anurag Kashyap’s signature Nair storytelling all combine to set the stage for an emotional cinematic experience that explores loneliness, 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 a long one. But every feedback I received at film festivals has given me the meaning behind making this film. The trailer takes you into the world of a man who is violent on the outside but deeply wounded on the inside. I am delighted to bring the film to ZEE5 viewers in its original form, without any compromise.”
Actor Rahul Bhatt said, “Playing the role of Kennedy changed me. Kennedy is lonely, angry, weak, always running from the past. Although living in his silence and anger was mentally exhausting, the role gave me immense satisfaction. The way the film was celebrated by the festival audience gave me great hope. Now I am eagerly waiting for the Indian audience to experience Kennedy’s journey and pain.”
Sunny Leone said..,
“‘Kennedy’ took me to a completely different emotional level as an actress. Charlie is a combination of mystery, sophistication and strength. Exploring her journey was challenging and fulfilling. Working with Anurag Kashyap taught me to celebrate silence more than dialogue. This film challenged me in ways I had never experienced before. I thank Anurag Kashyap for that. I can’t wait to see the audience experience this dark, beautiful world.”
Get ready to watch ‘Kennedy’, an action-packed thriller journey, on ZEE5 from February 20th.
