Kennedy OTT Release Date: When & Where To Watch Anurag Kashyap's Film Starring Rahul Bhat And Sunny Leone

Kennedy OTT Release: Kennedy, a Hindi neo-noir crime thriller written and directed by Anurag Kashyap, is set to reach a wider audience with its upcoming digital release in India. The film stars Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone in lead roles and marks the third collaboration between Kashyap and Bhat, following Ugly and Dobaaraa.

The film first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023, where it was screened as part of the Midnight Screenings section. Its Indian premiere followed later that year at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. Kennedy made headlines again in December 2025 when it became the only Indian film selected for the launch lineup of the Letterboxd Video Store. This marked the film's first wide availability to general audiences through a global transactional video-on-demand release across more than 20 countries, even though it was not yet streaming in India.

Story, Cast, Crew And OTT Release Details

Set in a dark and morally complex world, Kennedy revolves around its titular character, a troubled man whose actions raise unsettling questions about intent and identity. The narrative follows Kennedy as he navigates addiction, violence and isolation, blurring the line between compulsion and purpose. Rather than offering clear answers, the film places viewers inside a grim psychological space, allowing ambiguity to drive the story forward. Alongside Bhat and Leone, the cast includes Mohit Takalkar, Abhilash Thapliyal and Megha Burman in supporting roles.

The technical team behind Kennedy includes cinematographer Sylvester Fonseca and editors Tanya Chhabria and Deepak Kattar. Music for the film is composed by Boyblanck and Aamir Aziz. The project is produced by Umesh Kumar Bansal, Ranjan Singh, Akshay Thakker, and Kabir Ahuja under the banners Good Bad Films and Zee Studios.

Kennedy's Indian streaming debut has been awaited by audiences who missed the festival screenings. ZEE5 has now confirmed that the film will premiere on its platform on February 20, 2026. The announcement was made via ZEE5's official social media handles, signalling the film's long-anticipated arrival for Indian viewers.

With its upcoming OTT release, Kennedy is expected to reach a broader audience beyond film festivals and limited digital storefront. The streaming premiere marks the next stage in the film's release journey, making it accessible to viewers interested in crime dramas that lean toward darker, character-driven storytelling.
