Earlier this month, Sunny Leone posted pictures from the Kennedy screening in Cannes and she wrote in her post, "The proudest moment of my career so far! Thank you Anurag Kashyap for this moment! And Rahul Bhat for letting me be share the screen with you in this amazing performance! Love you both."
Scenes from the Kennedy screening in Cannes - Sunny Leone wrote, "The world premier of #kennedy and I could not be more proud to represent Indian cinema. Such an amazing moment for myself and the entire team."
In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and he wrote, "In the ultimate analysis, Kennedy is as much an Anurag Kashyap film as it is a Rahul Bhat vehicle. The cinematic work and the onscreen performance complement each other to perfection."
