The yet-to-be-titled Netflix Original will be directed by Sujoy Ghosh of 'Kahaani' fame.
Kareena Kapoor Khan has surprised her fans on Wednesday, March 16 morning by announcing her new thriller film with co-stars Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma. The yet-to-be-titled Netflix Original will be directed by Sujoy Ghosh of 'Kahaani' fame.
Taking to her Instagram handle, Kareena shared a video sharing that the filming for the movie has begun. She wrote, "And so it begins...12th Street Entertainment & Northern Lights Films in association with Boundscript and Kross Pictures present a Netflix Original directed by Sujoy Ghosh. Produced by Jay Shewakramani & Akshai Puri. Produced by Sujoy Ghosh & Thomas Kim."
In the monochromatic video, Kareena is seen singing the retro song 'Aa Jaane Jaan' and at the end of the video, it is revealed that the film will be based on the acclaimed Japanese thriller 'The Devotion of Suspect X' by Keigo Higashino released in 2005. The award-winning bestseller has already been adapted in Japanese as 'Suspect X', in Korean as 'Perfect Number', and in Chinese with the eponymous title. A 2019 Tamil film titled 'Kolaigaran' is also said to be heavily inspired by the novel.
Netflix India also shared the photo with Kareena, Jaideep, Vijay, and Sujoy and wrote, "We’ve got some Pretty Hot And Tempting news! Kareena Kapoor Khan stars in a thrilling new Netflix film with Jaideep Ahlawat & Vijay Varma, directed by Sujoy Ghosh".
Sujoy Ghosh has been in the talks to adapt the novel for the past many years and finally, this official announcement confirms his association with the mystery crime novel. Sujoy's last film was the 2019 mystery thriller 'Badla' starring Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu, which was also the official remake of the 2016 hit 'The Invisible Guest'.
