When Sujay Ghosh and Kareena Kapoor are teaming up for the screen adaptation of Keigo Higashino’s The Devotion of Suspect X, it becomes interesting in more than one way.
Back in 2015, Ghosh had announced the project with Saif Ali Khan. Though it didn’t materialise then, the filmmaker was not ready to let the story go. Years later, he is once again gearing up for the adaptation, with a strange twist in fate. This time, the project will be headlined not by Saif but by his wife Kareena Kapoor. Besides, the movie will also mark Bollywood’s star actress’ first project after the birth of her second son.
The novel is all about a single mother who kills her ex-husband accidentally. With the arrival of an investigating officer, it turns out to be a catch-me-if-you-can game. Kareena will essay the central character, and has already begun preparing for the project, which is yet to be titled. The movie will also feature actors like Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma.
The project will also be looked at eagerly as Ghosh has already proven himself to be an appealing filmmaker through movies like Kahaani and Badla. If the reports are to be believed, Kareena and Ghosh have started several discussions, and the movie is expected to go on floors very soon. Reports also state that Ghosh has blended the mystery genre with a complex love story, which gives new dimensions to the thriller.
It is also hinted that the team will head to a hill station in West Bengal for the shoot. The project will be backed by Jay Shewakramani, Akshai Puri, Thomas Kim and Gosh.
