The reporter said, “Aapka track record dekha hai humne, aapne Shahid jaisi film banayi hai jo National Award winning film hai. Ye jo murder mystery hai (Buckingham Murders), isme bhi bahut sensitive issue jhuda hua hai — Isiliye maine Shahid ka zikr kiya. Toh inn dono ko script and director ke level pe, kitna difficult tha?”
Kareena’s facial expression, captured on video, quickly went viral, sparking curiosity and amusement online. But the twist was revealed when it was clarified that the mention of ‘Shahid’ was about the film, not her past relationship.
For context, Shahid was released in 2010 and starred Rajkummar Rao as Shahid Azmi. The film was highly praised, winning two National Awards – Best Actor for Rao and Best Director for Mehta.
As for The Buckingham Murders, it’s set to release this month. The film, which had its premiere last year at the MAMI Film Festival, features Kareena in the lead role alongside several international actors, and it has already garnered positive feedback.
