Kareena Kapoor Khan comes on board for Sujoy Ghosh’s upcoming crime mystery – Times of India

According to a report in a news portal, Kareena has been roped in for the official Hindi adaptation of Keigo Higashino’s most acclaimed work, ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’. The film will reportedly also feature Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma in key roles. It is all set to go on floors in March this year.

The report added that the cast will soon begin workshops. If things go as planned, they will be heading to a hill station in West Bengal next month where the film will be shot in a start to finish schedule.

Interestingly, when Sujoy had announced the movie in 2015, he had cast Saif Ali Khan in it. Even though the film did not materialise, he didn’t let go of the story. And now, seven years later, he will be starting the project with Saif’s wife Kareena.

Higashino’s novel revolves around a single mother who accidentally kills her ex-husband. The actress is believed to have already started prepping for her character in the film.

Meanwhile, Kareena is awaiting the release of ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ co-starring Aamir Khan in the lead role. It is slated to hit the theatres on April 14, 2022.

Apart from this, the actress also has her untitled project with Ekta Kapoor and Hansal Mehta. She is also a part of Karan Johar’s magnum opus ‘Takht’.
