Naman Ramachandran Hansal Mehta‘s “The Buckingham Murders,” which premieres at the BFI London Film Festival, will be the first in a franchise. Written by Aseem Arrora, Raghav Raj Kakker and Kashyap Kapoor, the film follows Jasmeet Bhamra (portrayed by Kareena Kapoor Khan), a detective and mother who, after losing her own child, must investigate the murder of a 10-year-old in Buckinghamshire, going down a rabbit hole of secrets, where almost everyone in the small town becomes a suspect.
Kapoor Khan has said that her character is inspired in part by Kate Winslet’s role in “Mare of Easttown.” “I love ‘Mare of Easttown’ and when Hansal came to me, I said this is something that I’ve really been dying to do.

The film is a bit of a departure for Mehta, who is busy these days with hit series based on true stories including SonyLIV’s “Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story” and “Scam 2003 – The Telgi Story,” and Netflix’s “Scoop,” which recently won two major awards at Busan. “It was a refreshing change to make a film set in the U.K., to have Kareena as this detective, to make an authentic procedural, but not to make it about the procedure and make it about grief or trauma and about closure,” Mehta told Variety.
“Kareena’s face – there are a million stories on that face. It’s amazing – when you put the camera on her and without saying anything it tells you so many stories, in my film she’s stunning.” Kapoor Khan is on a career high at the moment with her streaming debut “Jaane Jaan,” the Indian adaptation of Japanese author Higashino Keigo’s bestselling 2005 novel “The Devotion of Suspect X,” by “Kahaani” director Sujoy
