The Buckingham Murders: When Kareena Kapoor Khan walked past neighbor Hansal Mehta; director recalls, ‘I would stand by wondering...'

As a long-time admirer of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s exceptional acting skills and captivating screen presence, I am eagerly awaiting her latest venture, The Buckingham Murders. Having followed her career closely for years, it is fascinating to learn about the unique dynamics between Kareena, Ektaa Kapoor, and Hansal Mehta that led to this intriguing collaboration.


Following Jaane Jaan, Kareena Kapoor Khan is preparing to transport her audience on another exciting journey with her upcoming crime-thriller, The Buckingham Murders. This film will hit theaters on September 13, 2024. Earlier today, on September 3, the movie’s team unveiled its trailer in Mumbai. During this event, Kapoor was accompanied by producer Ektaa Kapoor and director Hansal Mehta. As the director reminisced about making the film, he also shared anecdotes from a time when Kapoor would not respond to him at their apartment complex.

A gifted threesome graced a local venue to debut the trailer for their movie titled The Buckingham Murders. As Hansal Mehta stepped up to speak, he acknowledged Ektaa Kapoor for introducing Kareena Kapoor Khan to the project. He reminisced that such a casting choice was something only an accomplished producer and director like her could have made. “Without her,” he admitted, “I wouldn’t have even crossed paths with Kareena.” Looking back, the filmmaker Shahid recollected that they used to reside in the same apartment complex. Bebo would attend Christmas parties and stroll past him, while he stood there, amazed by the sight of Kareena Kapoor exiting an elevator.

As Mehta playfully shared a humorous meme of Kareena, he also praised her as one of the most talented actors in the industry today. In his opinion, it’s her star quality that pulls audiences to theaters, but it’s her performances that make an actor immortal, even after 25 or 50 years. The renowned filmmaker emphasized that while stardom may fade, true talent never dies. He further described Kareena as a veritable powerhouse.

In a unique turn of events, Kareena makes her production debut with this investigative thriller, sharing the limelight with the creator and writer of Dus Kahaniyaan. During the occasion, she graciously recognized Hansal Mehta, expressing that the film wouldn’t be what it is without him. In her speech, she affectionately referred to Mehta as the “captain of the ship,” praising his skillful direction and for making her feel at ease on set. She also shared her admiration for the story concept and script, adding that there’s no one more suitable than Hansal to bring this content-rich film to life. To wrap up, she emphasized that he has maintained the authenticity of the movie throughout its production.

The upcoming crime-thriller includes actors like Ranveer Brar, Ash Tandon, Keith Allen, and others in its cast. For those unaware, it made its international debut at the 67th BFI London Film Festival on October 14, 2023. Additionally, the first song from the movie’s soundtrack, named Sada Pyaar Tut Gaya, is now available to listen to.
