While sharing his excitement about his Cannes debut, the 'Blurr' actor said, "Getting an opportunity to travel to the Cannes Film Festival is an absolute dream come true for me.

He further expressed his gratitude towards Anurag Kashyap for coming up with such a project and making him part of the film.
"I am extremely thankful to Anurag Sir for making 'Kennedy', which is such a uniquely different film and making me part of it. I am looking forward to all the experiences that I am going to get and can't wait to see and witness people's reaction to the films screening at the festival," he added.
The Anurag Kashyap-directed film will have its world premiere during the festival's Midnight Screening segment and it features Sunny Leone, Rahul Bhat, and Benedict Garrett in key roles. 'Kennedy' is amongst the only two films from India this year to be the official selections at the festival this year.
