Last year, Kareena, who will make her debut as a producer with this film, penned a long letter for her character Jasmeet, revealing that this was the kind of role that she wantedto play the entire time of her career spanning two decades.

In her Instagram post, Kareena wrote, ''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..."

As per Variety, The Buckingham Murders will revolve around Jasmeet Bhamra, a mother and detective who has lost her child.

''The film revolves around Jasmeet Bhamra (portrayed by Kareena), 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,'' the film's synopsis reads, per Variety.

Apart from Kareena, the movie also stars Ash Tandon, Ranveer Brar, and Keith Allen.

Backed by Balaji Telefilms and TBM Films alongside Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, and Kareena, the film is written by Aseem Arrora, Kashyap Kapoor, and Raghav Raj Kakker.
