Kareena Kapoor Khan Teams Up With Sujoy Ghosh!

Kareena Kapoor Khan Teams  Up  With Sujoy Ghosh For Adaptation  Of  Keigo Huganshino’s Japanese novel  The Devotion Of Suspect X

Sujoy Ghosh wanted  to work with  Kareena Kapoor for the longest time. It’s finally  happening. Kareena Kapoor  has signed on the  dotted line  for Ghosh’s Devotion , the long-in-the-pipeline adaptation  of  Keigo Huganshino’s Japanese novel  The Devotion Of Suspect X.

Kareena Kapoor Khan  plays  a divorced  single mother who  murders  her  abusive ex-husband  and is then helped by her sympathetic neighbour(to be played by Jaideep Ahlawat) to dispose  of  the body.

This Japanese  thriller  has a long history  in  Bollywood. At one  point  back in 2017 it was to be  produced  by Ekta Kapoor ; Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was  to play the lead while Sujoy Ghosh  was to direct. The project  was aborted  back then.

Well, here’s to new beginnings!

Talking about his film, the director Sujoy Ghosh shared, “Devotion is probably the best love story I’ve ever read. and to get a chance to adapt it into a film is such an honor. Plus I get a chance to work with Kareena Kapoor , Jaideep and Vijay!!! What more can one ask for!!

Sharing her thoughts on the announcement, Kareena Kapoor Khan added, “I can’t wait to begin work on this exciting project. It’s one that has all the right ingredients… a great story, a visionary director and a super talented cast and crew, I’m really looking forward to working with Sujoy, Jaideep, and Vijay. It’s the beginning of an electrifying  journey and I can’t wait for audiences worldwide to see this global bestseller book come to life.”

The film is produced by 12th Street Entertainment, Northern Lights Films in association with Boundscript  and Kross Pictures and marks Kareena Kapoor Khan’s streaming debut
