Anurag Kashyap is a well-known director who makes violent movies. The director is back with the neo-noir thriller Kennedy, about an ex-cop who is on a murdering rampage, following Gangs of Wasseypur, Raman Raghav 2, Black Friday, Gulaal, and No Smoking. The director is presently in France preparing to present his new film at this year's prestigious Cannes Film Festival. He recently admitted in an interview that he fears seeing blood, getting into accidents, and going to funerals. He also discussed the motivation behind producing violent films.
According to Anurag Kashyap, he has such a "difficult relationship" with violence that if he witnesses an accident, he will pass out. Anurag is most well-known for his violent criminal thriller films. Raman for his best-known works.
Currently, Anurag is taking in the current Cannes Film Festival. Kennedy, his movie, will shortly be shown as part of the Midnight Screening. At the French film festival, he is joined by Kennedy's crew and filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane, a close friend and colleague.
“I have a very complicated relationship with violence. Violence affects me a lot. If I see blood in real life, I faint. If I see an accident, I faint. I am terrified of attending funerals. I have a very difficult relationship with violence, which is why in my films, the violence will be extreme, but off-screen. An exception to this is Gangs of Wasseypur," Anurag told Film Companion.
Further, Anurag explained how putting violence on screen limits it. “I have always kept it (violence) outside. The point of impact has always been off screen… In Raman Raghav, Ugly, Paanch and so on… you only see the rage, but not the impact. My whole thing is, the audience’s imagination is so vivid, that it will be much more scarier. If we put it on screen, we are limiting it. When we don’t put it on screen, their imagination makes it scarier.” he added.
Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone play crucial parts in Kennedy. An insomniac former police officer who has been presumed dead for a long time nevertheless exists and is searching for redemption in the upcoming movie. Anurag further disclosed that he first considered Chiyaan Vikram for the character of Kennedy. Chiyaan never replied, so he had to enlist Rahul's help. The official release date of the movie, which is supported by Zee Studios, Ranjan Singh, and Kabir Ahuja for Good Bad Films, has not yet been disclosed.
