, will play in the Midnight Screenings strand of the festival. Several films directed by Kashyap have played at Cannes, including “Psycho Raman” , “Ugly” , “Bombay Talkies” and “Gangs of Wasseypur” . In addition, several films produced by him have made it to the Croisette, including “Masaan” , “The Lunchbox” , “Monsoon Shootout” , “The Congress” and “Udaan” .
Kashyap also discovered the police noir novels of Jean-Patrick Manchette and his comics created in collaboration with Jacques Tardi, and the films of Jean-Pierre Melville, all of which were “massive influences” on the world seen in “Kennedy,” he said. “The idea was to create a character-driven dark nightmare thriller about redemption,” he added.
“I worked a lot on other people’s scripts. I wrote a lot of other people’s scripts and only one that I wrote was ‘Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat,’ which was an idea that originated out of nowhere and I wanted to explore that because I was bored of people always expecting me to go back and create another gangster movie,” Kashyap added.
Meanwhile, Bhat reunites with Kashyap after starring in abduction drama “Ugly” as an actor and “Dobaaraa” where he played a philandering husband. “Three years ago, my life fell apart and just when I felt I couldn’t plunge deeper into an abyss, there came along Anurag Kashyap who showed me facets of darkness that I didn’t even know existed within me,” Bhat told. “Kennedy is a character that both ripped me apart and stitched me back again.
