Reflecting on the film’s journey and its premiere at the BFI London Film Festival, Kareena stated, “On a 25-page synopsis given to me by Hansal and Ekta, I started reading it at 1 a.m., and I knew I had found the woman I wanted to be… Ekta, Hansal and I set off on this journey to make a slightly unconventional film, but a film that is with heart, a bit of a smile, and, oh my god, lots of tears… It played at the British Film Institute last night, and as this film starts its journey… in the world of movies…”
She added, “I couldn’t be more nervous and excited as an actor and a first-time producer… I feel so odd writing that… but I feel really cool… So giving you all a glimpse of this gem we made… into the world of Jass Bhamra.”
Hoping for the character’s journey to continue, she concluded, “I do hope Jas hasn’t ended her journey yet because it’s been a dream to continue this wonderful yet strong woman whose grief is beyond measure but stronger than she knows.” The film, featuring Keith Allen, Ash Tandon, Rukku Nahar, and Chris Wilson, is expected to be released in 2024.
