Speaking about the film’s digital premiere, Anurag Kashyap said, “Kennedy was born one night when I couldn’t sleep with all that was going around me. I was alone and I was playing Tchaikovsky loud all over my house and there was whisky and empty A4 size sheets and my pilot V 10 that I write with. I didn’t know what I was writing and it all poured out. I have received love and an extraordinary response from across the world for it and now I’m excited that the film will now reach its home audience as well as a much wider one. I believe they will also like the film as much.” (ANI)
