The Buckingham Murders: Did you know Kareena Kapoor Khan took a pay cut? Director Hansal Mehta reveals, ‘She has also put her belief’

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience in the entertainment industry, I must say that Kareena Kapoor Khan continues to impress me not just with her acting skills, but also with her commitment to her craft and her willingness to take risks for projects she truly believes in. Her decision to produce The Buckingham Murders and take a pay cut is a testament to her dedication and passion for storytelling.


The movie “The Buckingham Murders,” starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, is now showing in theaters and is garnering widespread praise from both critics and viewers. Not only is Kareena’s acting performance receiving additional accolades, but director Hansal Mehta has disclosed that Kareena agreed to accept a lower salary for this film and expressed her faith in the project’s subject matter. For those unaware, Bebo is also one of the producers of this movie alongside Ektaa R. Kapoor.

In a Zoom interview, Mehta was queried about the exorbitant fees of certain high-profile actors, to which he responded, “The cost can indeed vary based on the nature of the film.” Adding further detail, the 56-year-old explained that because Kareena Kapoor Khan joined the project as a producer, she had reduced her fee. He also mentioned that she had invested in something she was passionate about by lowering her fee and participating in The Buckingham Murders as a producer.

Later on, Hansal Mehta delved into the financial aspects and pointed out that big stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan’s paychecks seldom grab headlines because typically they produce their own films. In such scenarios, the focus is more on a profit-sharing revenue model rather than their individual compensation.

On occasion, Kareena Kapoor Khan, a well-known actress who commands high salaries in the industry, has chosen to accept lower paychecks. Film director Madhur Bhandarkar shared with Bollywood Hungama that all his actresses, including Bebo (for Heroine), reduced their fees. He explained, “They didn’t demand market value from me because they were passionate about making these films. The entire project relied on them, so everyone lowered their prices.

Regarding The Buckingham Murders, we find ourselves once again immersed in this gripping investigative tale. Here, Kareena’s character, Jasmeet Bhamra, attempts to leave behind the traumatic memory of her son’s tragic demise by moving to a new location. However, fate has other plans as she is assigned a case involving a missing boy. The manner in which she navigates this harrowing situation will send shivers down your spine.

Besides Kareena, this movie also features Ash Tandon, Ranveer Brar, and Keith Allen in prominent roles. It was penned by Aseem Arrora, Kashyap Kapoor, and Raghav Raj Kakker. Right now, “The Buckingham Murders” is playing at a theater near you; get your tickets booked immediately!
