Sunny Leone, Rahul Bhatt, and Benedict Garrett are playing lead roles in the film. Anurag Kashyap said when he wrote the film's story he had Vikram in mind. He added "I actually had a specific actor in mind, when I wrote this film. Which is why the film is called Kennedy."
He continued "Because that actor's nickname is Kennedy. The film was called Kennedy Project. It is Chiyaan Vikram. Chiyaan Vikram's real name is Kennedy. I reached out to him. He never responded. So then, I reached out to Rahul. I said 'Read it'. His reaction, his response was enthusiastic. And not like as an actor. And he was like, 'Yeh Kaun kar raha hai (Who is doing this role)?' I said, 'Karega (Will you do it)?' He said 'Me?' I said, 'Yes, but you will have to give it all'. And he was supposed to do some films. He gave eight months of his life to Kennedy."
