It’s produced by Zee Studios, Ranjan Singh and Kabir Ahuja. In 2025, Anurag Kashyap made his displeasure clear after the discharge was delayed. He told The Hollywood Reporter, “Where is Kennedy? And whose hands is Kennedy in? It’s within the hands of some individuals who’ve never made movies before. The individuals who made Kennedy within the studio are all gone… The people who find themselves there, the directive given to them is to up the share prices, generate profits, cost recovery… That’s all there’s. No one is fascinated by movies. It doesn’t matter if Kennedy went to Cannes; it doesn’t matter if it had such an enormous reception at festivals. Forget outside India, they’ve seen the reception in India, but where is the film?”
The incontrovertible fact that the trailer is being launched has given hopes that the discharge of the film can be within the offing very soon. It now stays to be seen whether it releases next month or in March and whether it arrives in cinemas or directly on an OTT platform.
