‘The Buckingham Murders’: Kareena Kapoor pens emotional note; says ‘was dying to be that...'

Actor Kareena Kapoor’s upcoming film 'The Buckingham Murders', directed by Hansal Mehta, premiered at the 67th BFI London Film Festival recently.

Kareena, who is overjoyed with the news, took to Instagram and shared a few stills from the film. She revealed how she has always wanted to play a character like Jasmeet Bhamra in a lengthy note and reflected on the journey of making the film with Hansal and producer Ektaa Kapoor.

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.’

She added, ‘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…’

Kareena concluded her note by saying, ‘So giving you all a glimpse of this gem we made… into the world of जस भामरा 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.’

Kareena has co-produced ‘The Buckingham Murders’ with Ekta Kapoor, who took to the comments section and added, ‘India will have to wait till next year we have a few more festivals to cover before we arrive with d world theatrical releasee.’

She wrote, ‘Five min into d film@n ppl will forget they r seeing Kareena d superstar !!! U follow Jass n ur never gonna forget those eyes !!! Deep sad grieving n …determined !!! @hansalmehta @kareenakapoorkhan.’
