After a celebrated world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and a wave of international acclaim, Anurag Kashyap’s gritty police noir 'Kennedy' is finally arriving for Indian audiences. Starring Sunny Leone as the enigmatic 'Charlie' and Rahul Bhat as the insomniac ex-cop, the film is scheduled to stream on ZEE5 starting February 20, 2026.

The film is set in a dark, rain-soaked version of Mumbai and follows a man long presumed dead who continues to operate within a corrupt system while seeking his own version of redemption. Leone’s performance has been highlighted by critics for its depth and sophistication, marking a sharp departure from her previous roles.

"Kennedy is a character that both ripped me apart and stitched me back again. To finally share this darkness with India is a surreal feeling." — Rahul Bhat
