Anurag Kashyap’s film Kennedy has been making headlines since its Cannes 2023 premiere, but its release in India remains uncertain. Despite receiving love at global festivals, the film is yet to hit theatres. However, a special screening at Ramanaidu Studios in Hyderabad brought together some of Telugu cinema’s biggest names.
Top Telugu Figures Gather To Watch Kennedy In Hyderabad Screening
The event saw top filmmakers like Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Pushpa director Sukumar, legendary writer KV Vijayendra Prasad, producer Suresh Babu, and actor Rana Daggubati. These industry veterans watched Kennedy and later engaged in a two-hour discussion with Kashyap about the film.
A source revealed to Bollywood Hungama, “It was quite a screening as these greats assembled at one place to watch Kennedy. And that’s not all. After the screening, they all spoke to Anurag Kashyap for nearly two hours about the film. Everyone was quite impressed with Kennedy and praised Kashyap for his work.”
Leaked pictures from the screening show Kashyap in deep discussions with the filmmakers. He exchanged thoughts and smiled during the lively conversation.
Anurag Kashyap’s Frustration Over The Film’s Delay
While Kennedy has been celebrated at multiple festivals, its release has hit roadblocks. Kashyap voiced his frustration in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, questioning the fate of his film.
“I have made five films that are lying unreleased. Where is Kennedy? And whose hands is Kennedy in? It’s in the hands of some people who’ve never made films before. The people who made Kennedy in the studio are all gone. The people who are there, the directive given to them is to up the share prices, generate profits, cost recovery… That’s all there is.”
He added, “Nobody is interested in films. It doesn’t matter if Kennedy went to Cannes; it doesn’t matter if it had such a massive reception at festivals. Forget outside India, they’ve seen the reception in India, but where is the film?”
With Telugu cinema’s biggest names backing the film, fans hope this industry support will push for its release.
An industry insider noted, “The support that Anurag Kashyap has got from these legendary film personalities should enhance the buzz for Kennedy and hopefully, culminate into its release in India in the near future. The film has gotten love from all over the world and the Indian audience also deserves to see this great piece of cinema.”
The film stars Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone as leads and continues to be one of the most talked-about films awaiting a proper release.
