Anurag Kashyap Calls Kennedy's Cannes Premiere His 'Lowest Point' Due to Technical Issues
Anurag Kashyap described the Cannes premiere of his film Kennedy as one of his worst screenings despite the standing ovation it received. The film, which follows a hitman in pandemic-hit Mumbai, was screened in the Midnight Screenings section three years ago. Kashyap revealed he walked out midway due to technical issues with the sound, which affected the film's intended opera-like structure. He acknowledged the applause was typical for midnight screenings but felt the experience was a low point for the film.
