Anurag Kashyap‘s ‘Kennedy’ continues to captivate hearts and minds after having first made its World Premiere at Cannes. It left the audience mesmerized at the closing ceremony of the 14th edition of The International Film Festival of Melbourne on August 20.

On Sunday night, the closing ceremony was a star-studded extravaganza, with an Indian and Australian crowd gathered to witness the culmination of this cinematic celebration.

At the closing night, Sunny Leone said, “First of all I’m grateful to be here. It really means a lot when we can present films to every community, and Melbourne is one very important stop for us for Kennedy. And we are so proud to be part of IFFM and for creating this platform.”

Earlier, Kashyap had said, “I am delighted that Kennedy is the closing film at IFFM. It’s the first Indian film festival we are playing in the world, and I am excited to know the response of the audience. I will be there to attend the same and gauge the response, and am sure that they’ll like the film, like the global audience who’s seen the film till now.”

Helmed by Kashyap ‘Kennedy’ stars Leone, Rahul Bhat, and Abhilash Thapliyal in the lead roles. 

The film revolves around an insomniac ex-policeman, long thought to be dead, but still operating for the corrupt system, and looking for redemption, ANI reported.
