Cannes 2023: A look at Indian films that will be screened at the film festival – Moviesapple

The 2023 Cannes Film Festival will begin on May 16. At this year`s festival, several Indian films will be screened including director Anurag Kashyap`s `Kennedy` and actor Rahul

Roy`s `Agra`. Here`s looking at some of the Indian films that will be shining at the prestigious film festival: 'Kennedy' Anurag Kashyap`s `Kennedy` has been selected as part of

the Midnight Screenings section of the festival, which will take place from May 16-27. In April, the official Twitter handle of the Cannes Film Festival announced the selection of

Anurag Kashyap`s `Kennedy` in the Midnight Screenings section of the festival. Coming from the house of Zee Studios and Good Bad Films, `Kennedy` is essentially a police noir film,

by Anurag Kashyap. The film revolves around an insomniac ex-cop, long thought to be dead, but still operating for the corrupt system, and looking for redemption. The film stars

Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone in the lead roles and has been selected for a Midnight Screening at Cannes Film Festival 2023. Sharing details about it, Kashyap had said, "It`s a film

and genre I always wanted to explore. It`s more polar than noir, inspired by crime writing of Patrick Manchette and his comic book collaborations with Jacques Tardi, and the cinema

of Melville. It`s also a deeply personal crime/police drama and am so grateful to Zee Studios, Shariq and team, Neeraj, Bhumika, my producers Ranjan, Kabir and Kavan, my whole

team, my partners in crime Sylver, Kazvin, Prashant who helped me shape it. Rahul Bhat who gave 8 months of his life, Sunny Leone who took on the challenge of it, Mohit Takalkar

for taking it on...am just grateful at the moment." Also Read: Anurag Kashyap posts cryptic note on `The Kerala Story`, says `To ban it is just wrong` `Agra` Rahul Roy-The starrer

Agra will have its world premiere at the Directors` Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival. Written and directed by Kanu Behl, the Hindi film is produced by Saregama India

Ltd, UFO Production, and O28 Films. `Agra` has an ensemble cast headlined by Aashiqui star Rahul Roy, who makes a comeback with this film. It also features Priyanka Bose (actor of

the Oscar-nominated film Lion), debutant actor Mohit Agarwal, Ruhani Sharma, and veteran actors Vibha Chibber, Sonal Jha, and Aanchal Goswami in pivotal roles. The film is an

exploration of sexual dynamics within a family and the deep dystopian fractures created in modern India that are fast shrinking into pigeon-holed spaces. `Ishanou` Manipuri

filmmaker Aribam Syam Sharma`s award-winning film of 1990 `Ishanou` will be screened at Cannes this year. It has been officially selected for a red-carpet world premiere on May 19,
