Kareena Kapoor starrer The Buckingham Murders, directed by Hansal Mehta was released earlier this week. While fans and the makers are enjoying the release of the mystery thriller, the veteran filmmaker has dropped a major hint about his plan to return with its second installment as he has a prequel in mind.

In an interview with Midday, on being asked about the sequel of the movie the director said,"The reports of The Buckingham Murders are encouraging. So, maybe we can come together again. I already have a prequel in mind for Jasmeet. It’s an origin story of how she became who she is today.”

During the conversation, the filmmaker also heaped praise on “instinctive actor” Kareena Kapoor. He pointed out that the actress doesn’t take her talent “too seriously.” He mentioned that lightness of touch comes in her performance due to this fact. Mehta expressed his belief stating that while the part was complicated, the actress did it with sensitivity.

Mehta mentioned, “The original story that Aseem Arora had written was set in the UK. I was clear that if the story is set there, it has to be truthful to its world.” Often, we make Hindi movies in the UK where all the characters are speaking in Hindi. It feels fake to me. I wanted the experience to be authentic and Ektaa agreed with me,”

The investigative thriller narrates the story of Jasmeet Bhamra (Kareena), who relocates to another town to move on from the memories of losing her son to violence. She is then handed over the case of a missing boy and how she paves through it is a bone-chilling experience.

Directed by Hansal Mehta, The Buckingham Murders led by Kareena Kapoor also stars Allen Keith, Ash Tandon, and Ranveer Brar in key roles.

Written by Aseem Arrora, Kashyap Kapoor, and Raghav Raj Kakker, the film is backed by Balaji Telefilms and TBM Films alongside Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The movie is currently running in the theaters near you.
