Kareena Kapoor posts stills from Hansal Mehta’s upcoming film, saying wanted to play this role ‘for the last 23 years’

The Buckingham Murders, directed by Hansal Mehta, is the next movie in which Kareena Kapoor will be seen. At the BFI London Film Festival, the movie had its world debut. Kareena has already released a number of photos from the film’s set. In the movie, she plays mother and investigator Jasmeet Bhamra, who must look into the death of a 10-year-old in Buckinghamshire after losing her own kid.

Kareena’s photo on Instagram

Kareena revealed a sneak peek at her upcoming character on Sunday by posting a tonne of new images on her Instagram account. She could be seen gazing out of a glass window in one photo and waiting by the table in another with a serious expression. She was pictured on the set with fog all over it as well.

The actor shared his experiences as Jas Bhamra in a blog post. She said, “Being an avid fan of the detective series genre, I have been yearning for the previous 23 years to portray the role of Jas. I was dying to be that investigative woman after seeing everything from Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown to Agatha Christie in Hercule Poirot to Helen Mirren in Prime Suspect. I began reading a 25-page summary that Hansal and Ekta sent me at one in the morning, and I realized I had finally found the woman I wanted to be.”

A slightly unconventional film

Kareena went on to discuss her work on the “unconventional film” alongside producer Ekta Kapoor and director Hansal Mehta. “Ekta, Hansal, and I embarked on this journey to make a film that is a little out of the ordinary, but a film that is with heart, a little smile, and, oh my god, lots of tears,” the writer said. As an actor and first-time producer, I couldn’t be more anxious and excited as this picture embarks on its voyage in the world of films. It was shown at the British Picture Institute last night. I feel so weird writing that (emoji of a laughing face)… though I feel absolutely awesome.

“So giving you all a glimpse of this gem we made… into the world of Jas Bhamra,” the actor continued. It has been a dream to follow Jas, a great and brave woman whose sadness is beyond measure but stronger than she realizes. I sincerely hope that Jas hasn’t finished her journey yet.”
Kareena last appeared in Jaane Jaan, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, which debuted on Netflix on September 21.
