October 15, 2023
Kareena Kapoor, renowned Bollywood actress, has been basking in the glory of her digital debut in 'Jaane Jaan.' Following the success of this project, the actress is all set for her next venture, 'The Buckingham Murders.' The film, directed by Hansal Mehta, had its premiere at the 67th BFI London Film Festival.
Expressing her elation, Kareena Kapoor took to Instagram to share stills from the film. She also opened up about her long-standing desire to portray a character like Jasmeet Bhamra. In a heartfelt note, Kareena reflected on her journey in creating this film with Hansal Mehta and Ektaa Kapoor.
"Jas was a character I have been waiting to play for the last 23 years, being a huge fan of the detective series genre—watching everything from Karamchand to Helen Mirren in Prime Suspect to Agatha Christie in Hercule Poirot to Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown, I was just dying to be that detective woman. On a 25-page synopsis given to me by Hansal and Ekta, I started reading it at 1 a.m., and I knew I had found the woman I wanted to be."
She further added, "Ekta, Hansal, and I set off on this journey to make a slightly unconventional film, but a film that is with heart, a bit of a smile, and, oh my god, lots of tears... It played at the British Film Institute last night, and as this film starts its journey... in the world of movies... I couldn’t be more nervous and excited as an actor and a first-time producer... I feel so odd writing that, but I feel really cool. So giving you all a glimpse of this gem we made... into the world of Jas Bhamra. I do hope Jas hasn’t ended her journey yet because it’s been a dream to continue this wonderful yet strong woman whose grief is beyond measure but stronger than she knows."
Ektaa Kapoor, also a prominent figure in the Indian film industry, shared some stills from the film and expressed her gratitude, "The London premiere of. #thebuckinghammurders has been overwhelming! Congrats co-producer @kareenakapoorkhan and director saab @hansalmehta! Excited #gratitude."
