Rahul Bhat Heads to NYIFF as Kennedy Earns Standing Ovation and Best Actor Nomination
Rahul Bhat Rahul Bhat is making waves on the international stage once again, this time at the 2025 edition of the New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF). His latest film, Kennedy, directed by Anurag Kashyap , has premiered to packed houses and roaring applause, with Bhat earning a coveted nomination for Best Actor. The noir thriller, which first premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival with a nine-minute standing ovation, continues its stellar run across global festivals. At NYIFF, the buzz around Kennedy was so intense that the first screening sold out in just 40 seconds, prompting organisers to add a second show by popular demand. Bhat, visibly moved by the reception, shared his thoughts ahead of the screening,'I'm truly honoured to be nominated for Best Actor at NYIFF. The response in New York has been nothing short of surreal- the first screening of Kennedy sold out in just 40 seconds! A second show had to be added, and that kind of love is incredibly humbling. What's even more heartening is that this isn't just a one-off - everywhere Kennedy has been screened, it's sold out within minutes. The response across the world has been overwhelming, and I'm deeply grateful for it.' Kennedy has drawn praise for its haunting visual language, gritty political undertones, and Bhat's career-defining performance as the film's emotionally fractured protagonist. The film's steady momentum has positioned it as one of the most talked-about Indian films on the global festival circuit. Bhat also returned to Cannes this year with Lost and Found in Kumbh, marking his third appearance at the prestigious festival. His evolving body of work is beginning to reflect a rare blend of risk and range-gritty homegrown narratives that are resonating far beyond borders. With a psychological thriller and an international co-production in the pipeline, Rahul Bhat's journey from indie stalwart to global talent is well underway. As Kennedy continues to strike a chord with audiences around the world, Bhat's ascent stands as a reminder of what can happen when an actor backs bold stories with uncompromising performances.

IND vs ENG: Bold move! Ravi Shastri snubs Kuldeep Yadav, makes big call on Shubman Gill's batting spot for Headingley Test
Former India Head Coach has revealed his preferred playing XI for India's upcoming first Test match against England at Headingley, starting June 20. The series marks new captain Shubman Gill's first assignment following the Test retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, as India faces the world's second-ranked team in challenging conditions during the new World Test Championship cycle. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For the opening combination, Shastri advocates for Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul to take the crease. He emphasized Rahul's experience and previous success in England as crucial factors. "It would be Jaiswal, and with him will be KL Rahul, because I think this is a big tour for him. He's the most experienced of the batsmen," Shastri stated. "He opened last time when India toured England, got a hundred, and had a good tour. So I would hope for him to open the innings." Shastri recommended young Sai Sudarshan for the number three position, citing his impressive performances. "Three, I'll go with the youngster, Sai Sudarshan. Whatever I've seen of him, he's very impressive. This will be good exposure for him, this tour," he explained. The newly appointed Test captain Shubman Gill, who has played 32 matches in his red-ball international career, will bat at number four in Shastri's lineup. Kuldeep Yadav hints at spin-friendly wicket ahead of England Test series For the crucial middle-order positions, the former India coach backed Karun Nair at number five and Rishabh Pant at six. He particularly praised Nair's recent performances and determination to return to the national team. "In all probability, depending on what current form is, it'll be Karun Nair. He bats at five, it's a long time since he played for India. Six will be Pant," said the 63-year-old. He further elaborated on Nair's selection, saying, "I think he has worked really hard. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He's just worked his way back into the side. The number of runs he's got in first-last cricket is incredible. And I met him during an IPL game. I said, 'don't just bang the door. Just kick it down and make your way in and walk into that side'. And I think he's done just that. Just the number of runs that he's got has made the selectors look in that direction and give him a place. " Poll Who is the most crucial player for India's middle order in the upcoming Test? KL Rahul Shubman Gill Jasprit Bumrah For the bowling combination, Shastri opined that Ravindra Jadeja must come in at number seven as the primary spinner, followed by three fast bowlers and an all-rounder. The former coach faces a tough choice between two fast-bowling all-rounders - Shardul Thakur and Nitish Reddy - for one spot in the team. "I would go with three fast bowlers, plus Shardul Thakur. I know it'll be a tough one between Shardul and Nitish Reddy, but you have to see who bowls how much. If Reddy is going to give you 12, 14 overs, then he might get the nod because of his batting," Shastri explained.

"And the three fast bowlers would be, I would go with Prasid Krishna, I would go with Mohammed Siraj and of course Jasprit Bumrah. In Leeds, if it's overcast and it's cloudy, there might be the temptation of going with the left-armer Ashdeep Singh as well. So it will be Prasad, Prasid Krishna/Ashdeep but the other two will be Siraj and Bumrah," he concluded.
