The National-Award-winning director further continued by recalling Mehta that he heard the story back in 2018 while he was shooting for Chhalaang and signed the actress in 2019. The co-writer of Chhalaang, Aseem Arrora narrated the idea and then to Ekta Kapoor.
The ace producer signed the filmmaker for it and later in 2020, during the pandemic, Ekta organized a Zoom call between him and Bebo. “Kareena had read a 10-15 page treatment of the film and had already decided to do it,” Mehta shared.
Led by Kareena Kapoor, The Buckingham Murders also featured Ash Tandon, Ranveer Brar, and Keith Allen in key roles. The investigative thriller narrates the story of Jasmeet Bhamra (Kareena), who moves to another town to move on from the memories of losing her son to violence. She is then handed over the case of a missing boy, and how she paves through it is a bone-chilling experience.
On the work front, Bebo will be next seen in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. Led by Ajay Devgn, the film is poised to hit the theatres on the auspicious occasion of Diwali. Interestingly, it will be facing a clash at the box office with Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 co-starring Triptii Dimri and Vidya Balan.
