From Sleeping with a Pistol to Peeling 700 Apples | Decoding Anurag Kashyap’s KENNEDY | UT EP161

Join us for Episode 161 of Unfolding Talent as we sit down with Rahul Bhat, the intense and compelling actor from Kennedy, Anurag Kashyap’s much-awaited film that is finally releasing after a long pause due to unforeseen reasons. In this episode, Rahul speaks candidly about being part of a film that took years to reach audiences and how that phase tested his belief, patience, and commitment as an actor. He shares why trusting the process matters, especially when results don’t arrive on time, and how silence and waiting can sometimes shape an artist more than constant work. The conversation dives deep into his experience of working with Anurag Kashyap, understanding his filmmaking style, and surrendering completely to the character of Kennedy. From changing his physicality and voice to dealing with the emotional weight of the role, Rahul breaks down the intense preparation that went into the film. Beyond cinema, this episode also explores the realities of today’s industry, where social media presence often outweighs craft. Rahul reflects on losing opportunities due to not playing the PR game and why he still chooses authenticity over visibility. Honest, grounded, and inspiring, this episode is a reminder that patience is the key, and no amount of delay can stop hard work from finding its moment.
