The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) approved Anurag Kashyap's film Kennedy with several modifications, including renaming "Donald Trump" to "Pump Trump." The CBFC also mandated the removal of references to Dawood Ibrahim, replacing them with "Pakistan Don," muting abusive language, and adding anti-smoking disclaimers. A 14-second scene was also cut. The film, a neo-noir crime drama starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone, received an 'A' certificate after these changes and is set to premiere on February 20, 2026.
