Kareena Kapoor will soon be in an intense role in Hansal Mehta’s crime thriller The Buckingham Murders. The movie is scheduled to be released in theatres on 13th September 2024. She will be seen portraying the role of a detective named Jasmeet Bhamra. As per Variety, Bhamra will be going through personal loss in the movie. While she is depressed, the detective investigates the murder of a child in Buckinghamshire. As she deep-dived into the case, Bhamra came across a series of dark secrets that turned everyone in the town into a suspect. For the detective, grief is beyond measure but she continues to be strong to face all the challenges. 

Earlier in the interview with the same magazine, Kareena revealed that her role was inspired from Kate Winslet’s character in the popular series Mare of Easttown. While unveiling her role in the movie last year, the actress shared that she wanted to play this kind of character for the past 23 years. She also called herself a huge fan of the detective series genre. 

In a post on Instagram, Kareena wrote “जस भामरा 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 Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie 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…” 

“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,” the actress said. 

The trailer of The Buckingham Murders will be out today on 3rd September. It also stars Ranveer Brar, Rukku Nahar, Ash Tandon, Kapil Redekar and Keith Allen in key roles.
