Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s critically acclaimed neo-noir thriller Kennedy continues to make waves globally, with its latest success at the 10th Indie Meme Film Festival in Austin, Texas. The film, which premiered to an enthusiastic audience on Friday night, received a thrilling reception, further cementing its global appeal.

Shot mostly at night on the streets of Mumbai, Kennedy follows an insomniac ex-cop, long believed to be dead, who operates within a corrupt system while seeking redemption. Written by Kashyap during the lockdown, the film stars Rahul Bhatt and Sunny Leone.

In attendance at the screening, Kashyap expressed his gratitude for the ongoing love the film continues to receive worldwide. “It’s heartwarming to see Kennedy still getting so much love from the audiences across the world,” he said. He also added, “It’s almost two years after its Cannes premiere and I still get invited across the world to talk about it. Back home, my producers are working towards the release of the film, and it should happen soon.”
