Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has often drawn inspiration from the dark, complicated corners of human nature. His recently released film Kennedy, starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone, is no different. During a conversation on mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist, Kashyap revealed that the origins of the film trace back to a real-life character and a screenplay he once began writing for filmmaker Sudhir Mishra.

The real Uday Shetty

Kashyap shared that the basis of the character came from a real man named Uday Shetty, the character that Rahul Bhat eventually played in Kennedy.
