Kareena Kapoor portrays the character of Jasmeet Bhamra aka Jass in The Buckingham Murders. On September 3, the actress attended the film's trailer launch event in Mumbai where she revealed what connected her to the role of Jass. She said, “I think a mother's love has no language. It's a feeling. So, I think being a mother I understand that a mother's love has no specific language. It's in her eyes – her love, her pain, you can see it in her eyes. That's important. I think that is what connected me to the character... Somehow this just had so much soul in it that I felt that this was the right time for me to feel this character and to play it."
The Buckingham Murders has been released in two versions: one in Hinglish and the other in Hindi dubbed version.
