Kareena Kapoor plays the character of Jasmeet Bhamra aka Jass in The Buckingham Murders. On September 3, the actress attended the film’s trailer launch event in Mumbai, where she revealed what connected her to the role of Jass. She said, “I think a mother’s love has no language. It’s a feeling. So, I think as a mother, I understand that a mother’s love has no specific language. It’s in her eyes – her love, her pain, you can see it in her eyes. That’s important. I think that’s what connected me to the character… In some ways, she had so much soul that I felt it was the right time to feel this character and play it.”
The Buckingham Murders has been released in two versions: one in Hinglish and another in a Hindi dubbed version.
